Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Pick mint leaves from stems, then finely chop.
  • Zest, then juice the lime.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Peel, then mince shallot. 
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, add chicken, half the lime juice, half the lime zest and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.  
Cook couscous
2
  • To a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
Toast seeds
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When hot, add sunflower seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 2-3 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
  • Transfer to a plate.
Cook chicken
4
  • Reheat the large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.)
  • Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**

  • Cut a piece off the top and bottom ends of the grapefruit. Place a flat end on a cutting board, then cut the peel away from top to bottom, turning the grapefruit as you go.
  • When peeled completely, slip a paring knife along each side of the membranes of each grapefruit slice to release segments. Cut each segment in half crosswise. 
  • In a small bowl, combine mint, shallot, grapefruit, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and half the vinegar. Season with salt, then stir to combine.
