Ingredients (10)

  • 1/4 cup (3 tablespoons) za'atar
  • 4 x 180g skinless chicken breast fillets
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) white wine
  • 3/4 cup (185ml) Massel Chicken Style Liquid Stock
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) couscous
  • 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 2 oranges, peeled, segmented, juice reserved (about 50ml)
  • 1/2 cup coriander leaves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • 2.
    Rub the za'atar all over the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, deep frypan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes each side until golden. Transfer to a roasting pan and cook in the oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
  • 3.
    Wipe the frypan with paper towel, then heat over medium-high heat. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute, then add the stock. Bring to the boil, add the couscous, remove from heat, cover and stand for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the pine nuts, orange segments and coriander leaves.
  • 4.
    Whisk the remaining olive oil and reserved orange juice in a small bowl with cumin. Add to the couscous and gently combine.
  • 5.
    Slice the chicken breasts and serve on top of the couscous.
