BETTER WITH BACON
Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the bacon strips and fry until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. When cooled, roughly chop the bacon. Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
CHEESY CHILLI & THE Couscous
Boil the kettle. To a bowl, add the chopped bacon, the Cream Cheese, the chopped jalapeños, ½ the chives and some seasoning. Mix to combine and set aside. Place the Couscous in a bowl with 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
STUFF THE Chicken
Pat the Chicken breast/s dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, slice into one side of the chicken, starting at the thicker end and ending at the thin side (do not cut all the way through). Open up the chicken so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin to create an even thickness. Season the inside of the chicken. Spread the jalapeño-bacon filling onto one side of the chicken. Fold the other side over the filling and secure with toothpicks so it stays closed. [Repeat with the remaining breast.]|#7DA0D7
SPICY CRUMBED Chicken
Whisk 1 egg in a bowl. Prepare two shallow dishes: one containing the Spiced Flour (seasoned lightly), and one containing the Cornflake crumb. Coat the stuffed Chicken in the seasoned flour, dusting off any excess flour. Coat in the whisked egg, and lastly the crumb. [Repeat this step with each chicken.]|#7DA0D7 Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken until golden, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
LOADED Couscous
To a small bowl, add the charred Corn, the rinsed Black Beans, the halved tomatoes, the Couscous, the remaining chives, some olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.
