Sweet-Sticky Chicken & Pear Slaw
with Garlic Couscous & Japanese Mayo
Sweetly glazed chicken bites are popping with flavour in a bowl that’s already got the aromas of garlic rice. If that still isn’t enough, a Japanese mayo may be the thing to tick all your tasty boxes. We’ll let you give it a try and find out.
We’ve replaced the jasmine rice with couscous due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe!

Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and bring to the boil. Add couscous and stir to combine. • Cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and season to taste.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice pear into sticks. Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Japanese dressing. Set aside. • In a medium bowl, add seasoning blend (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • 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.
• Add sweet chilli sauce and the soy sauce to the pan and toss chicken to coat, 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, combine shredded cabbage mix, pear and a drizzle of vinegar in a second medium bowl. Little cooks: Kids can help toss the slaw!
• Divide garlic couscous between bowls. Top with pear slaw and sweet and sticky chicken. • Drizzle with Japanese mayo. Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by tearing over the parsley.
