Quick and wholesome family dinner.

Ingredients:

6 boneless chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, halved lengthways
9.20 gm olive oil, plus extra to brush
28.60 gm honey
60ml orange juice
250g instant couscous
82.50 ml slivered almonds, lightly toasted
56.10 gm sultanas
250.00 ml fresh herbs (flat-leaf parsley and mint leaves)

Instructions:

Skewer the chicken pieces, brush with oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Combine 2 teaspoons oil, remaining cinnamon, honey, and juice in a bowl. In a large bowl, add couscous, pour in 150ml boiling water, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Preheat a sizzling hot chargrill or frypan. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until perfectly cooked and caramelized. Fluff up the couscous with a fork, mix in almonds, sultanas, herbs, and the juice mixture. Gently stir to blend flavors, season with salt and pepper. Serve by spooning couscous onto plates and topping with chicken.
