Chicken Fajita & Tasty Grains Traybake
Quick, tasty and all in one tray – this fajita-style traybake is great for an easy weeknight meal. You can use your favourite fajita spice mix in place of the spices if you prefer. Use any leftovers to make a tasty burrito lunch wrap.
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180Cfan
Put the chicken strips, peppers, onion and garlic on a large baking tray. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, honey, cumin, chilli powder, paprika and cayenne (if using). Pour over the chicken and vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything to coat well and spread out into a single layer.
Cook for 16-18 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle over the contents of the couscous packets. Stir through the chicken and veg. Add the boiling water or stock (if you have a lot of juice in the tray from the chicken and veggies use a little less water). Cook for another 8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the couscous has absorbed the liquid.
Serve garnished with coriander and with a dollop of sour cream and/or guacamole.
TIP: For a meal for two use 1 packet of Tasty Grains with 150ml of boiling water.
