Ingredients

100g couscous
200 - 250ml hot chicken stock
1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 coarsely grated courgettes
1/2 lemon, juiced - keep a tbsp for later
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast
salt & pepper

  1.  Tip the couscous into a large heatproof bowl, pour over the hot chicken stock, cover and leave for 10 mins until fluffy and all the stock has been absorbed.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the coarsely grated courgettes until soft and crisp at the edges. Tip this into the couscous, then season, add the juice of 1/ 2 lemon and stir.

  3. Halve the skinless, boneless chicken breast crosswise and put on a sheet of baking parchment. Cover with another sheet of baking parchment and beat the piece of chicken out into an even thickness using a rolling pin. Season.

  4. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 2 mins on each side, or until cooked through. Add a squeeze of lemon and serve with the couscous.
