- Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts (skinless boneless)
- 1 large carrot (finely diced)

- 1 peeled, yellow Bell pepper (deseeded and finely diced)
- ½ cup Couscous
- Orange juice (from 1 orange)

Product recommendation
To peel the bell peppers: Oil lightly, then place skin-side up on a baking tray and grill on high, until the skin blackens and the peel blisters. Place the hot peppers in a heatproof bag and seal tightly. Leave to cool. Peel the charred skin from the peppers. The steam that's trapped softens the skin and makes it easy to peel off.
