Chicken with mango & watercress couscous
Another Waitrose recipe.
Very easy and quick to do. Very tasty. Good for a Summer's day.
Serves: 2 persons.
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 6 tbsp lemon juice (1 lemon)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 120g couscous
- ½ ripe mango, peeled, stoned and cubed
- 3 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 3 tbsp natural yogurt
- 50g watercress
Method:
- Mix together the cinnamon, ginger, olive oil, half the lemon juice, salt and pepper and pour over the chicken. Coat well and leave it to stand for 10 min. Here I decided to let it stand for 2 hours, turning the breasts half way through. The longer you leave meat in seasoning, the tastier it gets. If time is an issue, than 10 min will have to do.
- Pour boiling water over the couscous, just enough to cover it, and leave it to stand for 5 min.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 min on both sides, turning once, until cooked through with no pink meat.
- Meanwhile, fork through the coucous to break up any lumps. Stir in the mango, salt and pepper and pumpkin seeds.
- Whisk together the remaining lemon juice and yogurt and stir through.
- Arrange the watercress over the plate, top with couscous and then arrange the chicken breast on top.
