Food Magazines as Inspiration - Mango Chicken with Coucous

I love my monthly fix of my favorite Food Magazines. Olive, Delicious and BBC Good Food. I also love Jamie Oliver and Food and Wine Magazine. I would love to get my hands on Donna Hays Magazine as well.

Anyway sometimes these mags come with little booklets slimmer dinner, healthy recipes etc... I decided to try out one of the recipes from one the booklets today 25 Quick Fixes, Meals in 20 minutes or less from Olive magazine May 2012 issue.

I had some chicken breasts in the fridge and wanted to use those. The recipe I chose was Mango Chicken with Couscous and it only took 15 minutes to make... Super fast and it was really delish...



You will need: 

olive oil
Chicken fillets x 2 / 350g cut into strips
ground cumin 2tsp
chicken stock hot - 300ml
couscous 150g
mango chutney 3 tbsp (they recommend Geetas but any will do)
spring onions 4 , sliced into 3cm pieces
coriander a small handful, roughly chopped

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok / large frying pan. Sprinkle chicken with ground cumin and cook for a couple of minutes till lightly browned.
Pour 200ml of the stock over the couscous and leave to soak for 5 mins. 
Add mango chutney to the chicken, stir well and leave to bubble for 2 mins then add the remaining chicken stock and spring onions and cook for 5 mins or until chicken is cooked through. 
Fluff up the couscous with a fork amd stir in half coriander and the other half into the chicken and serve. 


Enjoy...
