Quick Middle Eastern Chicken & Zesty Couscous Salad
with Lemony Garlic Dip & Almonds
It’s fresh, flavourful, and a fan-favourite especially with Middle Eastern seasoning and a fluffy (another ‘f’ word) couscous, it’s a chicken dish we can all become fans of. Zest it up with a garlic dip for fragrance (okay, that’s the last one) and that’s dinner finished (sorry).

Unfortunately, this week’s radish was in short supply, so we’ve replaced it with cucumber. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Trim and halve green beans. Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine garlic dip and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks • Place chicken on a plate and sprinkle over Middle Eastern seasoning on each side. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place couscous, chicken-style stock powder and lemon zest in a medium heatproof bowl. • Add the boiling water (see ingredients) and stir to combine. • Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside. • Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook green beans until tender, 4-5 minutes. Season and transfer to the bowl with the couscous. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, to the couscous, add cucumber, baby kale, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and season to taste. • Divide zesty couscous salad between bowls. • Top with Middle Eastern chicken. Garnish with toasted almonds. • Serve with lemony garlic dip and any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
