Couscous with chicken and peas recipe
Couscous is so easy to make and really versatile – it's the perfect base for a quick lunch.
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 50g plain couscous
- 85g cooked chicken, chopped
- 40g frozen peas
- 4 cherry tomatoes, chopped
- half a lemon, juiced
Method
-
Put the couscous in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes to swell and cool, then stir with a fork to fluff up the grains.
Information:For a time-saving hack, simply defrost the peas by adding them to the couscous before covering with the boiling water.
-
Add the chicken and tomatoes, squeeze over the lemon juice, stir it all to combine, and you're done!
Information:Microwavable pouches of couscous also work well – try mixing things up by using a spicy or tomato-flavoured version.
