1 serving

100g vegetarian chicken pieces
1½ tsp olive oil
40g giant couscous
20g basil pesto
20g pitted olives, halved
1 baby gem lettuce, leaves shredded
40g cherry tomatoes, halved
25g pistachios, roughly chopped
1 small red pepper, deseeded and chopped

Method

Cook the chicken pieces in the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat until hot through and golden then set to one side to cool a little.

Meanwhile, cook the couscous with water or stock according to the packet instructions.

Whisk the pesto with a couple of tablespoons of water to loosen it to a drizzling consistency. Toss the chicken pieces together with the couscous, olives, lettuce, tomatoes, pistachios and pepper and drizzle over the pesto.

Season with some salt and pepper and tuck in.
