  • 30g (1.06oz) – Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ Tbsp (10ml) – Sesame Oil

Couscous

  • 1 ½ Cups (320ml) – Low Sodium Chicken Stock or Water

Instructions

Couscous

  • In a saucepan, combine chicken stock, a splash of extra virgin olive oil and the grated garlic. Bring to a boil, add couscous, stir, then cover and steam for 10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork, then mix in the sliced spring onion and adjust seasoning.

Honey Chicken

  • In a bowl, toss the diced chicken thighs with onion powder, grated garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together honey, sriracha, apple cider vinegar and sesame oil until smooth.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat, add peanut oil and sear the chicken for about 10 minutes until cooked through. Pour in the honey sauce and cook 2 more minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce into a glossy glaze. Stir in the sesame seeds, check seasoning and remove from heat.

Stir-Fried Veggies

  • In a clean pan or wok over medium-high heat, add peanut oil and stir-fry baby bok choy and pak choy for 4–5 minutes until slightly charred and al dente. Season to taste and remove from the heat.
  • Divide the couscous, honey chicken and vegetables evenly into five meal prep containers. Garnish with extra sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy.
