This is probably one of my new favourite things to make for lunch/dinner/other people!
Partly because it's so super easy (I don't really 'do' baking...), & partly because it's yummy!
I made it for the first time back in the so-called-summer when I had a friend coming for dinner, who was on a diet so wanted something fairly healthy. Add to this the fact it was super warm outside, and the only things I can usually make are either super unhealthy, or don't exactly require 'cooking' (aka put in the oven & eat).
Que calling The Mother in a slight panic on my way home from work & her explaining how to make the following:
Lemon Chicken
This is what I used
Lemon Juice
One lemon
Couscous
Rocket (but any salad really would be okay - I just really love rocket)
Salad dressing
Chicken pieces (in the past I've usually used really large chicken breasts fillets, but these were on offer & worked a treat too)
*I also added a chicken stock cube in the couscous, but forgot to add it to this picture...oops!
After a quick defrost of the chicken I put it all on a baking tray and zested the lemon (I don't have a proper cheese grater, but the small grate-y side works just fine)
So then you've got all the zest to sprinkle over the chicken pieces
I added some lemon juice just to make it super juicy & help to stop the chicken drying out too much.
The just pop under the grill for about 10 minutes (roughly - until it's cooked really! And making sure to turn them half way through.)
While they're cooking, I added a chicken stock cube and some more lemon juice to the couscous & 'cooked' it!
By this point the chicken was a little brown, but in a good way!
Like this:
Then just pop it all on the plate & you're done!
It's also actually really nice cold for lunch the next day too!
I heart anything this quick & easy <3
