Honey, Lemon & Oregano Chicken With Couscous
45 mins Prep
20 mins Cook
4 Serves
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160° fan-forced).
- Combine honey, juice and zest of 1 lemon, chopped oregano, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Season. Place chicken in a shallow glass bowl or a large snaplock bag and cover with marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Drain chicken from marinade and reserve marinade. Heat a large lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat and cook chicken for 5 to 6 minutes until browned. Place chicken in a baking dish, drizzle with reserved marinade and cook in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, place the couscous in a heatproof bowl. Add boiling water. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes to soak. Use a fork to separate the grains. Add currants, apricots, baby spinach and parsley leaves and toss to combine.
- For the dressing, whisk together the remaining lemon juice and zest, remaining olive oil and the mustard. Season and drizzle dressing over the couscous.
- Top chicken with extra oregano leaves, if desired, and serve with couscous.
