Couscous-crumbed chicken with chickpea and parsley salad

Step 1

Place flour and ras el hanout or spice in a bowl and season. Place the couscous and parsley in another bowl and the egg in a third bowl. Coat the chicken in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg and then coat in couscous.

Step 2

Heat some olive oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium heat. In 2 batches, fry chicken for 5-7 minutes, turning, until golden and cooked. Drain on paper towel.

Step 3

Meanwhile, for salad, heat grill to high. Spread onion and garlic on a tray, drizzle with oil and season. Grill for 5 minutes, turning, until golden. Peel the onion, then toss onion in a bowl with parsley, tomato and chickpeas. Mash garlic with a fork and whisk with juice and oil. Season dressing, then pour over salad and toss to combine.

Step 4

Serve the chicken immediately with the salad and lemon wedges to squeeze over.
