ROWLAND S. HOWARD
CHICKEN WITH COUS COUS AND VEGETABLES
Ingredients
1 large Spanish onion
3 cloves garlic
1 lemon
2 handfuls continental parsley
6 - 8 medium spuds
either new or desiree
2 celery sticks
1 - 2 chopped carrots
2 skinless chicken breast fillets
1 carton chicken stock
2 generous handfuls snowpeas
A cup or so of olive oil and
unsalted butter for cous cous
1 box cous cous (not the
flavoured type, the Moroccan
yellow boxed brand is good)
Method
Chop finely: onion, garlic, celery, carrots. First fry in olive oil, all of the above.
Chop chicken into strips and cook on all sides until no longer pink.
In a seperate pot, par boil spuds, chopped into halves roughly the size of a small
sized new potato. Steam snow peas until just bright green and put aside in ice cold
water to maintain crispness and colour.
Throw spuds, chicken, onion, etc. into pan/pot. Add stock to taste plus seasoning and
about a cup of water (taste along the way), then when spuds are cooked through, simmer
to assimilate flavours. Add a handful of chopped parsley, the snowpeas and juice of one
lemon 5 minutes before serving.
To make fluffy cous cous: In a heavy based pan empty contents of the box, add butter and
seasoning. Boil kettle, then cover with about an inch on top. Stir after 8 to 10 minutes.
Make cous cous about 10 minutes before chicken is ready.
With the cous cous, serve the chicken, vegies and stock.
Garnish with more chopped parsley.
