Chicken Cous-Cous Bake

Published 26 February 07 05:12 PM

In my search for recipes that require minimal effort, minimal dishes and use up things lurking in the pantry and fridge, I bring you Chicken Cous-Cous Bake.

Ingredients:

1 chicken *** (skinless because I am slack and picky, free-range because I feel guilty, Mt Barker because I like their ad)
1 cup Israeli cous-cous (BIG cous-cous balls - use ordinary if you want)
1 lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp capers
chicken stock
black pepper

Method:

Watch Grey's Anatomy. In ad breaks, run to the kitchen and cut chicken into chunks. Throw chicken in baking dish, sqeeze in lemon, throw in cous-cous. Next ad break, finely chop garlic and capers, add to dish. Grind pepper over the top, splosh in stock until the ingredients are covered, stir everything round. Set oven to 200 degrees celcius, put dish in oven. Watch more Grey's. After about half an hour (once the chicken is cooked), remove from oven, spoon into bowls and eat in front of the TV.

(Also, Matt, no one has asked me about my spectacular bruise. I am very disappointed!)

ETA: the first ingredient seems to be blocked by myresearchspace. Think bits of chicken that begin with b.

Nice TV recipe ;-)

And I promise to ask about your bruise if it's still visible on Thursday...

I wonder if the censoring works in comments too?

Breasts!

or maybe

Boobies! (can one say 'chicken boobies'? I think it's a phrase that doesn't get used half as much as it should)

The most spectacular bruises happen when there is a metal nocking point on the string. Not pretty and a bit hard to explain.

Hope yours isn't too bad though.

The briuse has pretty much disappeared by now - yay! My temporary solution (an armguard of thin, bright blue leather with minimal lacing) appears to have worked on the weekend - and I think I'm becoming more consistent in my aim.
