Instructions
- Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin pieces. Add them to a large frying pan with 1 tbsp of rapeseed oil on a high heat. Season with dried coriander, salt and pepper. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes (longer depending on how thinly you have sliced the chicken).
- Whilst the chicken is frying, add the giant cous cous to boil in water or vegetable stock if you have a cube in the cupboard.
- Meanwhile, prepare all the ingredients for the tabbouleh by finely chopping the parsley, mint, tomatoes, red onion and cucumber.
- When the couscous is ready, sieve and rinse with cold water until it is cool. In a large mixing bowl, stir all the components of the salad together along with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and the lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
