This is such a quick recipe to make and has a wonderful flavour, it is the perfect after work meal as you can have it on the table in about 25-30 Min's. I love couscous and this is another way of preparing it with the sun-dried tomato pesto along with the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, adding such wonderful tastes. I top it with chicken which I also rub with sun-dried tomato pesto and I think it is a wonderful combination. Ingredients:
olive oil |
2 chicken breasts |
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto |
2 (100 g) sachets quick-cooking couscous (this makes enough for 4 but i make this amount as i like to take the couscous to work the next day f) |
700 ml water |
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules |
2 teaspoons lemon rind, finely grated |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
4 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped finely |
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto (extra) |
60 g rocket |
Directions:
1. Bring the water and stock to the boil, add sachets cook according to packet instructions. (Mine is 2 minutes) Cut sachets open and pour couscous into a large bowl, fluff with fork.
2. Add juice, rind, pesto and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, stir gently to combine.
3. Add a little oil to a fry pan, rub 1 tablespoon of pesto over each breast, cook chicken on both sides until browned and cooked through.
4. Toss rocket gently into couscous.
5. To Serve: place couscous on a plate top with sliced pesto chicken.
