Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Chop your red onion[s] into wedges, keeping the peel on (this helps it cook quicker)

Add the onion wedges to a baking tray, drizzle with a little vegetable oil and season them with a pinch of salt

Put the tray in the oven for 15-20 min or until they're tender

Step 1
2

Meanwhile, combine your ground cumin, ground coriander, ground smoked paprika, dried oregano and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] black pepper and a very large pinch of salt on a plate

Mix all the spices together – this is your Cajun seasoning

Step 2
3

Boil a kettle

Cut your chicken into strips

Add the chicken strips to your Cajun seasoning and make sure they're fully coated in the spices

Step 3
4

Dissolve the chicken stock cube[s] in 200ml [300 ml] [400ml] boiled water in a large heatproof bowl

Add your couscous and sultanas to the bowl, cover with a tea towel or plate and set aside – this is your sultanas couscous

Deseed the red pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into bite-sized pieces

Step 4
5

Cut your green beans in half

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a matching lid, with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the Cajun spiced chicken, green beans and red pepper and cook for 3 min, turning once halfway through

Add a splash of water to the pan, cover with a lid and cook for a further 2 min

Step 5
6

Meanwhile, season your Greek-style yoghurt with salt and pepper, add a drizzle of olive oil and mix well – this is your seasoned yoghurt

Remove the roasted onion wedges from the oven and carefully remove the skins by cutting off the root ends – you'll end up with onion 'petals'

Step 6
7

Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the heat, add your red wine vinegar and mix to combine

Fluff the sultanas couscous with a fork

Carefully combine the cooked Cajun chicken, green beans and red pepper with the fluffed sultanas couscous and onion petals

Step 7
8

Serve the Cajun Chicken Couscous with a dollop of the seasoned yoghurt

Enjoy!
