Ingredients
2
chicken breasts
100
gm couscous
4
large carrots, (finely diced)
1
onion, (finely chopped)
2
tbsp raisins

tbsp fresh coriander, (chopped)
1
tbsp soy sauce
2
tbsp balsamic vinegar
1
tsp cumin
2
spoonful hoisin sauce
Salt and pepper
Noor Oil
Preparation
Introduction:
This recipe is a complete meal on its own, containing vegetables, protein and carbohydrates!
By stuffing the chicken breasts we ensure they remain moist and juicy, whilst adding a touch of sweetness from the carrot!
Steps Involved:
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Arrange the carrots in an oven proof tray, season, add Noor Oil , hoisin sauce and soy sauce and bake in the oven until soft (about 15 minutes).
In the meantime, cook the couscous following the package’s instructions and set aside.
When the carrots are ready, cut the chicken breasts longitudinally without opening them in two, and stuff with the carrots. Sprinkle with Noor Oil, salt and pepper and cook in the oven until well done (approximately 20 minutes).
Mix the extra carrots with the couscous, as well as the raisins, coriander, onion and cumin. Stir well and season with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and Noor Oil
Suggestion:
Serve the couscous as a base, with the chicken breast on top. Enjoy!
When roasting a whole chicken, a good way to prevent the breast from drying before the whole chicken is perfectly cooked is by placing a thin layer of fresh herbs between the skin and the breasts. It will add a wonderful aroma too!
