Ingredients

Lemon chicken

  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 50 ml olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1/2 lemon, finely grated zest and juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Whipped feta

  • 250 g feta
  • 200 g Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Freshly ground pepper

Warm Brussels sprout salad

  • 150 ml pearl couscous (giant couscous)
  • 300 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1/2 lemon, finely grated zest only
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  • Put the chicken in a bowl with the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest and oregano, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes - ideally a couple of hours or overnight.
  • Cook the pearl couscous according to the packet instructions, then rinse in plenty of cold water. Leave to drain in a sieve.
  • Meanwhile, blend the ingredients for the whipped feta in a mini chopper or similar. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper - salt is usually not needed. Chill in the fridge.
  • Fry the chicken in a frying pan until golden and cooked through - use the marinade it has been sitting in. Set the chicken aside on a chopping board and leave to rest.
  • In the same pan, fry the Brussels sprouts over a good high heat until golden. Add the pearl couscous and the finely grated lemon zest and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat through for a couple of minutes - the sprouts should still be crisp and firm.
  • Divide the whipped feta between 4 plates. Place the chicken on top and finish with the warm Brussels sprout salad.
