Practical tips:

The healthiest ways to cook chicken are poaching, steaming, and in casseroles. Broiling and grilling produces carcinogens that, if eaten too frequently, are linked with cancers. Cook poultry all the way through—any pink meat can cause food poisoning.

DID YOU KNOW?

Organic chickens and chickens allowed to roam freely and find their own food contain more of the beneficial polyunsaturated fats and fewer of the saturates.

Chicken and pine nuts with couscous

SERVES 1 W F B H M S

1–2 saffron strands

¼ cup couscous

2 teaspoons golden raisins

½ cup boiling hot chicken or vegetable stock

1 chicken breast fillet, about 4 ounces, cut into 8 strips

¼ cup corn kernels

1 teaspoon pine nuts

10 cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters

2 scallions, chopped

fresh cilantro leaves, to garnish

Dressing

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

juice of ½ lemon

1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

Put the saffron, couscous, and golden raisins in a heatproof bowl and pour over the hot stock. Stir once and let stand for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, beat together the dressing ingredients.

Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat, then brown the chicken strips on all sides for about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the corn kernels and pine nuts, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Fluff up the couscous with a fork and add to the skillet with the tomatoes, dressing, and scallions. Heat for 1 minute, or until warmed through, stirring gently.

Spoon onto a serving plate, then top with the chicken strips and garnish with cilantro leaves.
