Pomegranate Chicken and Couscous

Good Pair Days (Roos Michels) -
  • 1 tbsp veg oil
  • 200g couscous
  • 1 chicken stock cube
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 600g chicken mini fillets
  • 2 tbsp harissa
  • 180ml unsweetened pomegranate juice
  • 100g pomegranate seeds
  • 100g toasted almond flakes
  • Small handful of mint, chopped
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and pop the couscous in a bowl with half the stock cube and some seasoning. Fry the onion in the pan for a few mins to soften, and just cover the couscous with boiling water, then cover with a tea towel and set aside.
  • Push the red onion to one side of the pan, and add the chicken to brown all over. Stir in the harissa and pomegranate juice, then add the rest of the stock cube and season well. Simmer for 10 mins to thicken the sauce and cook the meat, then stir through the pomegranate seeds. After 5 mins of soaking, fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the mint and almond flakes. Serve the chicken on a bed of couscous, with the sauce spooned all over.
