Method

  1. Heat the grill to high. Peel and dice the mango, toss with most of the spring onions, and the cumin and rice vinegar, then set aside. Put the couscous in a large heatproof bowl, pour over 400ml boiling water, then cover with cling film and set aside.
  2. Mix together the marmalade and mustard. Lay the chicken strips in a roasting tin, then brush over half of the marmalade glaze. Grill for 4-5 mins, then turn the chicken over and brush with the remaining glaze. Grill for a further 4-5 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is bubbling. The couscous should then be ready. Stir in the mango mixture and serve with the hot chicken strips and the remaining spring onions sprinkled over.

Swapping the chicken...

Swap the marmalade for 3 tbsp clear honey and drizzle it over 8 good-quality chipolatas on a baking tray. Grill for 10 mins, turning occasionally, until the sausages are browned and sticky. Serve with the mango couscous as before.

Using veg stock

Use boiling vegetable stock instead of water to cook your couscous. This will give your couscous lots of flavour even before you add any other ingredients.

    So quick and yet tasty. Used cranberry compote instead of marmelade once, which worked fine as well. Didnt have rice vinegar, so I used lemon-flavoured vinegar, tasted nice.

    Cooked this tonight and it is set to become a favourite I think. Very quick and easy and very tasty. Will try it with pork tenderloin next time I think.

    Really good and easy. Tempted even my very picky daughter. Put the stock in the couscous the 2nd time I made it. Good either way.

    Made the dish for family meal. General concensus was that the sticky chicken was great and we all agreed that we would have that again very soon. The couscous wasn't such a success tastewise. I think it may have been the balsamic vinegar that we weren't too keen on, so I might make it again but without the vinegar and see if that is better received. Mozza

    Sorry, previous note should not read that I added balsamic vinegar, it should read white wine vinegar.
