Dukkah Crusted Chicken Salad:
1 bunch baby carrots, trimmed & cut in half lengthwise
¾ cup Alexandra’s pearl couscous
2 free-range chicken breasts (650g), cut into steaks
⅓ cup Alexandra’s traditional dukkah
2 tsp maple syrup
4 heaped cups baby leaf lettuce or rocket
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh dill
100g feta cheese, crumbled
Extra virgin olive oil, for cooking & drizzling
Shallot Dressing
1 shallot, thinly sliced into rounds
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp each red wine vinegar & extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp maple syrup
½ tsp each Dijon mustard & flaky sea salt
Preheat your oven to 200°C regular bake. Line a medium oven tray with baking paper. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil.
Roast Carrots:
Toss the carrots on the lined oven tray with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and tender. Meanwhile, cook the pearl couscous in the pot of boiling water for about 12 minutes, or until al dente. Drain through a sieve and return to the pot with a knob of butter. Toss together and set aside to serve.
Shallot Dressing:
Add all of the ingredients to a jar and shake to combine. Set aside to serve.
Dukkah Crusted Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Lay the chicken breast on a chopping board. Place one hand flat on top of the chicken, then slice the breast through horizontally into two equal steaks. Sprinkle the dukkah over a plate and coat both sides of the chicken steaks in the dukkah
To Serve:
Serve the lettuce with the roast carrots and dukkah crusted chicken. Drizzle over the dressing and sprinkle over the feta cheese.
