Here is the second recipe from my diary this year:
Spicy Chicken with Spoon Salad
It turns out that the salad was spicier than the chicken, maybe because
I added fresh chillies from the garden!
I cooked a double recipe and was able to use the chicken, salad and yoghurt on a wrap for lunch the next day with some avocado for extra yum factor.
Confession: I was skeptical of this recipe at first because of the breast chicken and couscous. I have had experiences of both these foods being too dry for my liking, but today they were a winner!
Not dry at all!
Oy! where is the recipe? It sounds delicious don't know about the chillies though I've never been game to try fresh chillies!

DeleteFresh chilli's are nice if you like spicy things. Just be careful when chopping them!
Here's the recipe...
Chicken:
Breast fillets (1 per person) coated with a mix of hot chilli sauce and olive oil. Leave them in the fridge to soak in some of the chilli while you make the salad. The chicken does not actually turn out that spicy.
Salad: (note: peeling is optional)
- 5 tomatoes, blanched, de-seeded and finely chopped
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled, de-seeded and finely chopped
- 1 red capsicum, roasted, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 or 2 red chillis, de-seeded and finely chopped
- parsley
- mint
- olive oil and red wine vinegar as the dressing
Serve with:
Greek yoghurt
Couscous
