Recipe and image taken from BBC Good Food
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 15-20 mins

Ingredients
- 200g cous-cous
- 400ml chicken stock
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 courgettes, grated
- 2  lemons, 1 halved, 1 cut into wedges
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  1. Tip the cous-cous into a large bowl and pour over the stock. Cover and leave for 10 mins until fluffy and all the stock has been absorbed. Heat 1 tbsp oil and fry the courgettes until softened and crisping at the edges. Tip into the couscous, then stir in with plenty of seasoning and a good squeeze of lemon juice from one of the halves.
     
  2. Halve the chicken breasts horizontally and put each piece on a sheet of cling film. Cover with another sheet and beat each piece out with a rolling pin to make it thinner. Season. Heat the remaining oil in a large pan and fry the chicken for about 2 mins on each side until cooked through. Squeeze over the juice from the other lemon half and serve with the couscous and lemon wedges on the side.
