3. 3 tbsps olive oil
4. 11 oz couscous
5. 2 cups chicken stock
6. 9 oz pack of cherry tomatoes
7. 2 oz pine nuts
8. 1 large handful mint leaves

Instructions

1. Place the chicken in a shallow dish.
2. Whisk together lemon zest and juice, and olive oil, season, if you want, then pour over the chicken. Cover and leave to marinate for 10 mins in the fridge.
