Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 skinless chicken thigh fillets
25 g butter or 25 g margarine
1 tablespoon honey
sea salt
ground pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 lime, juices only freshly squeezed
1/2 lime wedge, to serve
150 g couscous
100 ml hot vegetable stock
1 tablespoon almond halve
1 handful chopped fresh coriander (large handful)
1 red chili, de-seeded and cut into strips, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Sit the chicken in an ovenproof dish. Season the chicken with salt and ground pepper generously.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan, remove from the heat and stir in the honey, paprika and half the lime juice. Season. Pour all over the chicken.
  • Bake each side for 15 minutes, basting with the sauce halfway through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, golden and sticky.
  • Meanwhile, make the couscous. Put the couscous into a large bowl and pour over the boiling stock. Cover the bowl with a plate and set aside for 5 minutes. Fluff up the couscous with a fork, then stir in the remaining lime juice, almond flakes and coriander. Season to taste.
  • Divide the couscous between 2 warm plates, then put the chicken on top and pour over the sauce. Garnish with a sprig of coriander and some chilli. Serve with a lime wedge.
