• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • Roughly chop cucumber and tomato. • Thinly slice radish. • Slice lemon into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add diced chicken and toss to combine. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Transfer half the garlic oil to a small bowl, then add Greek-style yoghurt and garlic dip and stir to combine. Season to taste and set aside. • Transfer remaining garlic oil to a second small bowl and set aside.
• Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, when the couscous is slightly cooled, add cucumber, tomato, radish, the honey and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. • Stir through the remaining garlic oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide pearl couscous salad between bowls. • Top with herby chicken. • Drizzle over garlic yoghurt to serve. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
