Ingredients:

• 600g chicken breast or thigh fillets, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 200g sweet potato, diced
• 200g butternut pumpkin, diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 portion C4K Kitchen’s French Onion Soup Mix
• 1 tablespoon chicken stock powder
• 850ml can apricot nectar
• 250g couscous

 

Method:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy based frying pan and then add in the diced onion, sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion softens.
• Add in the chicken that has been cubed to about 1.5-2cm pieces and brown the chicken.
• Add in the sweet potato, pumpkin and carrot which have all been peeled and diced into about ¾ cm cubes, the French onion soup mix and the stock. Stir well so the soup mix coats as much as possible.
• Pour in the Apricot Nectar and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the chicken is cooked through.
• Add 1 ½ cups of water to the pan (it should almost look like an excessive amount of water) and then bring back to the boil.
• Remove the pan from the heat, add in the couscous and stir through well.
• Cover with alfoil or a lid and leave for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to soften and absorb the juices.
• Fluff the couscous up with a fork and then serve.
