Ingredients:

Serving

500 g chicken breast fillets
1 tbsp plain flour
1 (40 g) packet french onion soup mix
1 tbsp olive oil
3 slices bacon ( rindless with fat trimmed for lowfat version)
1 medium onion
1 cup water
200 ml sour cream (light if you like )
1 cup couscous (optional)
1 cup frozen vegetables (optional)

Directions:

Cube chicken fillets and place in plastic bag. Add flour and soup mix to the bag and shake until chicken is coated. Don't worry if there seems to be a lot of dry mix left in the bag.
Place coated chicken and oil into frying pan leaving the left over dry mix in the bag to the side.
Brown the chicken and remove from the pan.
Dice the bacon and onion and place in the frying pan where the chicken was cooked and cook until onion is translucent.
Add the chicken back into the frying pan with the bacon and onion.
Take the left over dry mixture and add to the cup of water and mix. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the frying pan.
Simmer for around 20 minutes adding more water if needed.
While this is simmering prepare the couscous as directed on the packet and heat the frozen vegetables (I use the microwave).
After the 20 minutes, or when you are happy the chicken is cooked, add the sour cream mixing well. At this point I chuck in the prepared couscous and the vegetable but you can just add the vegetables and serve the chicken mixture over the couscous.
