CHEESY CHILLI & Couscous
Boil the kettle. To a bowl, add the sun-dried tomatoes, the cream cheese, the jalapeños, ½ the coriander and 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 tomato-jalapeño filling onto one side of the breast. Fold the other side over the filling and secure with toothpicks so it stays closed.

When hot, fry the chicken until golden, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the air fryer, slice, and season.
