Seared chicken with mint yogurt dressing

Instructions

1. Put the couscous in a bowl, pour over enough boiling water to cover, stir in the stock cube and cover with a plate. Leave for about 5 minutes, or until the stock is absorbed and the grains are tender. Using a fork, fluff up the couscous and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, using a hand-held blender, blend together all the dressing ingredients, except the cumin seeds. If you don’t have a hand-held blender, finely chop the mint and combine with the yogurt and juice of the lime. Transfer to a bowl, season and scatter the cumin seeds over.
3. Sprinkle the chicken with the thyme and coriander. Season then turn until evenly coated. Heat a griddle pan or nonstick frying pan over a high heat. Spray the chicken with the cooking spray. Cook over a medium-high heat for 6 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and golden.
4. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to the boil, add the peas, sugar snaps, pepper and spring onion, and cook for 3 minutes, or until tender. Drain and refresh under cold running water.
5. Divide the couscous between 4 large, shallow bowls then top with the peas, sugar snaps, pepper, spring onion and chicken. Serve with the dressing spooned over.
