Chermoula-Honey Chicken
with Zesty Salsa, Garlic Rice & Almonds
In this surprisingly simple recipe, creamy pesto adds a rich and herby flavour to the juicy chicken breast, while also working as the glue for the Parmesan crust. Serve with a couple of colourful veggie sides to balance out the richness.

Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add vegetable stock powder, basmati rice and the water (for the rice). Stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low, then cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, zest lime to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, the honey and the water (for the glaze). Set aside.
• Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine chermoula spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add chicken breast, turning to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded) • In the last minute, add honey glaze, turning chicken to coat. Cook until bubbling, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, finely chop cucumber and tomato. Transfer to a second medium bowl. • Add a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season, then toss to combine.
• Divide garlic rice between plates. Top with chermoula-honey chicken, drizzling over any extra glaze from pan. • Top with zesty salsa. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and torn parsley leaves. • Serve with any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
