Mango  Chicken  with  Couscous

Makes 2-3 servings

About 2 cups of cooked couscous
1/2 cup of raw sliced almonds or whole almonds that have been roughly chopped.
3 scallions chopped (green parts only)
1 mango chopped into 1 inch cubes

Chicken
1 large bone in chicken breast (or you can use a boneless breast that has been pan fried).
1 tablespoon of Jamaican curry powder (or any mild curry powder)
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper

Dressing
The juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup of honey
1/3 cup of olive oil
1 tablespoon of Jamaican curry powder (or any mild curry powder)
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Here is my bone in chicken breast. You can use boneless breast as well but there is something about the bones that keeps the chicken moist and tender as it cooks. Season your chicken with 1 tablespoon of Jamaican curry powder, salt, pepper and a 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. Rub the spices into the chicken. The Jamaican curry powder that I have is mild and not spicy so while 1 tablespoon may sound like a lot it really isn't. With whatever curry powder you choose to use make sure you give it a taste before using it in this recipe.

Squeeze out the lemon juice and add the curry, salt, honey and olive oil. Give it a good whisk.

Peel and chop the mango into 1 inch cubes. Chop the scallions, green parts only. And roughly chop your almonds. You can use slivered or sliced almonds as well.

Roast your chicken for 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees.

While your chicken is roasting you want to cook your couscous. I use the above brand which as you can see only takes about 5 minutes. Add in the correct amount of water or stock, a small tab of butter, bring it up to a boil, add the couscous, turn off the heat and cover. Very easy.

Both light and fluffy the couscous looks delicious. Now let's make it even MORE delicious.

Add some mango and a few sprinkles of almonds.

Slice your chicken and layer it on top with a few drizzles of the dressing.

Now sprinkle some scallion on top and bon appetit!
