  1. COUSCOUS

    Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous in 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 5-8 minutes until tender. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork.

  2. THE SALAD STEP

    While the couscous is steaming, rinse the tomatoes and the oregano. Pick the oregano leaves. Halve the baby tomatoes and cut the cucumber into half-moons. Drain the olives and the feta. In a salad bowl, combine the tomato, the cucumber half-moons, the drained olives and feta, a pinch of lemon zest, the picked oregano, the rinsed salad leaves, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.

  3. LEMON CHICKEN

    Place a pan (that has a lid) over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken breast dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the chicken skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip, pop on the lid, and fry for a further 5-7 minutes until cooked through. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter, the rub, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Lightly season.

  4. FINISHING TOUCHES

    When the couscous is done, add to the bowl with the salad, toss to combine, and season.

  5. LET’S EAT!

    Make a bed of the loaded couscous salad, top with the crispy chicken, and sprinkle over the parsley. Scatter over the sunflower seeds and serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy, Chef!
