Herby Chicken Couscous

Ingredients:

4 skinless chicken breasts

250g couscous

300ml hot chicken stock

25g butter

75ml olive oil

15g chopped fresh mint

15g chopped parsley

2 sticks celery, chopped

75g sultanas

50g pine nuts, toasted

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

30ml lemon juice

Method:

Slice each chicken breast lengthwise with diagonal cuts to make thin slices and season. Put the couscous in a large bowl, add the hot stock and leave for 5 minutes.

Add the butter and 15ml olive oil to a frying pan and heat until the butter has melted. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.

Meanwhile, toss the mint, parsley, celery, garlic, sultanas and pine nuts with the couscous and season. Mix the remaining olive oil in a small bowl with lemon juice. Spoon the couscous onto plates, pile the chicken slices on top and drizzle with the lemon dressing.
