Chicken with Orange & Mustard with Couscous

I wish I could invent a way to take a photo for the taste buds!!!  This recipe looks uninteresting in the pic - it does however have an  amazing taste.

The combination of Orange and Wholemeal Mustard actually explodes in your mouth and best of all - it only takes 20 mins to make!

It is best served with Couscous - either the method with the recipe or simply follow the directions on the pack!





Orange Mustard Chicken with Couscous (serves 4)

4 small chicken breasts                        1 tblsp olive oil
1 clove garlic crushed               juice of 1 large orange
¼ cup wholegrain mustard               ¼ cup marmalade
1 cup chicken stock     (you can just use boiled water)
1 cup couscous                   1 tblsp grated orange rind
¼ cup sultanas (optional 50g butter)

Method

Cut chicken fillets in half (you can use chicken pieces). Heat oil in a large frying pan over
medium heat – cook chicken on both sides until brown and just cooked through.
Remove from pan – cover to keep warm. Add garlic to same pan, cook stirring until soft. Add orange juice, mustard and marmalade and bring to the boil, then simmer for 3 mins.
Add chicken to pan and leave to simmer for 3-5 mins.
If using only boiling water first put couscous in a bowl then gently pour boiling water over; stand for 5 mins.
If using stock- bring stock to boil in a saucepan; add the couscous; stand for 5 mins. (Optional – add chopped butter and fluff with fork.)  Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir in rind and sultanas – mix well.

Serve the chicken and sauce over the couscous.
