Minty Lemon Leftover Chicken

[Bubba82]

just made this with our leftover chicken from sunday roast and it was yumo

leftover chicken from a roast, i'd guess at about 300g
zest & juice from 1 lemon
3 tbsp olive oil
300g couscous (be warned this will make enough for a family)
400ml hot chicken stock (i used an oxo)
14 cherry tomatoes
1 red & yellow pepper roasted
50g toasted pine nuts (leave out if you'd worry about your kid choking, but def made a yummy addition)
handful of fresh mint leaves

- roughly chop up the chicken and put it into a dish.
- whisk together the lemon zest, juice & olive oil & season to taste. Then pour this mix over the chicken and set to one side
- put the couscous into a large bowl and pour over the hot stock, cover the bowl with a large plate and leave the couscous to soak up the stock
- slice the toms in half, chop roasted peppers into chunks & chop up the mint leaves
- next fluff up the couscous with a fork and then mix in the toms, peppers, pine nuts, chopped mint and chicken (incl the lemon dressing it's been sitting in) et voila a scrummy meal using leftover roast chicken perfect for a sunny spring day
