hi guys hope you’re well okay I’m gonna
do a nice little dish this is a classic
Oliver household mid week dinner or
lunch chicken lollipops with charred
asparagus mint and pea couscous and a
beautiful sun-dried tomato sauce it’s
really quick it’s really nutritious it’s
from my brand-new book super food family
classics and it’s a really lovely dish I
think you’re gonna love it
I’m going to do it all in one pan
quality nonstick large pan put that on a
high heat with the asparagus let it
naturally snap there’s nothing wrong
with it it’s just a bit stringy and
chewy okay there’s no fat there’s no
olive oil with asparagus if you dry
grill it or dry toast it in a nonstick
frying pan like this you get really
amazing nutty asparagus flavors that you
would never get free steaming or boiling
so couscous this is whole wheat couscous
so you’re absolutely having loads more
fibre these are fresh peas you could use
frozen as well a pinch of salt goes in
you can put some pepper in as well I’m
also going to use lemon get yourself a
nice little fine grater like this okay
it’s just the yellow part of the zest
going in and that’s the oily fragrant
delicious part so we’ve got very simple
but lovely flavors happening there I’ve
boiled a kettle and I’m simply going to
cover that couscous is already cooked
you just need to rehydrate it and it
takes like five six minutes I’m going to
put my plates on top peas and couscous
essentially are done we’re using lovely
free-range chicken breasts you’ll notice
there’s a thin side and a thick side
we’re just pulling out the thickness as
well as tenderizing it and it means that
it’s all going to cook at an even rate
so just three or four skewers you want
them to be cut down so they fit inside
your pan okay I want to create little
lollipops I’m just going to wash my
hands these asparagus are pretty much
done they’re still kind of they got life
in them but we’ve sort of made them a
little bit softer I’m going to start to
cook the chicken now I’m going to season
that with a little salt and pepper
and a drizzle of oil so the asparagus
here goes onto the plate
right so you can tell the hot and steamy
and gorgeous the chicken is in the pan
what we get in there is a really nice
crisp finish I’ll turn this other
chicken over if you apply something flat
like this and let’s say like a little
pestle and mortar it’s quite a nice
little tip I’ll tell you why it really
compresses the meat so you have perfect
contact with surface area and it helps
to cook it quicker and it gives you a
crispier crust I’m gonna pick through
some mint to chop right so this is to
chop through my couscous so the tips I’m
putting to one side I’m just going to
sprinkle those on top chive flowers look
how beautiful they are and may have the
most beautiful subtle onion flavors
whatever herbs you got available you can
kind of run with it I’ll chop through
that there’s our chicken lollipops
notice that you’ve got the kind of
seared color on the outside I’m going to
put that on top of the asparagus why
because it’s going to rest now right
chuff up all of this look hot and steamy
we’re going to lift all those flavors
with these wonderful wonderful herbs
okay mix that up I want a little bit of
tartness happening here squeeze the
juice in this bad boy I’m that’s about
quarter then I put that through the
couscous just to give it an edge I want
to show you how to make a quick sauce a
couple of tablespoons beautiful organic
yogurt I’m going to use some sun-dried
tomato paste 1 teaspoon give or take I’m
going to put some lemon juice in here
guys this let’s call it a quarter and
just a little pinch of salt for
seasoning and you’ve got a really simple
delicious sauce let’s plate up so we’re
going with a couscous first I’m then
going to go in with the asparagus here
and then it’s going to have a little
look our chicken over here this is a
nice clean board and what I’m going to
do is get my chopper and just put it in
between the
skewers the kids just love that look
let’s have another little look right
juiciness not overcooked
right loads of character and we’ve got a
little wedge of lemon sun-dried tomato
sauce herbs and the only thing I forgot
was my nuts I’m always forgetting my
nuts so you have to use your imagination
in this one they are much nicer when
they’re toasting but I’m going to
sprinkle these over my lovely dish boom
