Number of servings
2
1 1⁄2 tsp Moroccan spice mix (or Ras el hanout-a mixture of cumin, coriander, paprika, ginger, turmeric)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1⁄2 tsp chilli flakes optional
salt & pepper, to taste
1 1⁄2 tsp olive oil
225g skinless chicken breast thinly sliced
1⁄2 onion thinly sliced
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 red pepper deseeded & chopped
1 1⁄2 carrots (medium) chopped
1⁄8 cup (30g) tomato paste
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
1⁄2 tin of chickpeas (400g tin) drained & rinsed
1⁄2 lime zest & juice
1⁄4 bunch of fresh coriander (80g bunch) leaves picked, plus extra to serve
1⁄8 cup (30g) couscous (or gluten free couscous or cooked brown rice if gluten free)
1⁄8 cup (40ml) water boiling
25g goat's cheese crumbled
1⁄8 cup (15g) pistachios chopped
Mix spices together with salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Heat half the oil in a large frypan over medium–high heat. Add chicken and half the spice mix and cook for about 5 minutes to brown both sides. Set aside.
Add remaining oil to the pan and saute onion, garlic, red pepper and carrot for 4–5 minutes.
Add remaining spice mix and sauté for another 15 seconds, stirring constantly.
Return chicken to the pan and stir through tomato paste, stock and chickpeas. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir through lime zest, juice and coriander leaves.
At the same time place couscous in a heat proof bowl and add boiling water. Cover with cling film or a lid and set aside for 5-8 minutes.
Fluff couscous with a fork and divide between serving bowls. Add chicken and vegetables and top with crumbled cheese, pistachios and extra coriander leaves to serve.
