Cooking Steps

PREP
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F and wash and dry all produce. Peel, then mince shallot. Roughly chop parsley. Roughly chop olives. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine chicken, Middle Eastern spice and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl) in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Set aside.

COOK COUSCOUS
2

Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), then couscous, and half the shallot. Toast, stirring occasionally, until the couscous is lightly golden, 2-3 min. Add 2/3 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Cover and remove from heat. Let stand until the couscous is tender and liquid is absorbed, 5-6 min.

TOAST SEEDS
3

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add pepitas to the dry pan. Toast, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) When the pepitas are done, transfer to a plate and set aside.

COOK CHICKEN
4

Using the same pan, increase heat to medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) then chicken. Sear, until golden, 1-2 min per side. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Roast in the middle of oven, until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 min. **

FINISH THE PREP
5

Meanwhile, place orange, flat-end down, on a cutting board. Cut peel away from flesh from top to bottom, turning orange as you go. Once peel is removed, slip a paring knife along each side of the white lines (membranes) of orange to release segments. Squeeze juice from remaining orange into a large bowl. Add remaining shallots, vinegar, 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl for 4ppl) and 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl). Whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add orange segments to the bowl. Toss to coat.

FINISH AND SERVE
6

Slice the chicken. Fluff couscous with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in pepitas, olives and half the parsley. Divide the couscous between plates. Top with chicken. Spoon over the oranges and dressing. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley.
