Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 chicken breasts
- 180 g Benso Grilled Pepper Spread
- 2 tbspBenso Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 250 g pearl couscous or rice
- 1 zucchini, 1 red bell pepper, and 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Cook the pearl couscous or rice according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Toss the vegetables with one tablespoon ofBenso Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly caramelized.
Season the chicken breasts with the smoked paprika, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Gently warm the Benso Grilled Pepper Spread in a small saucepan with one or two tablespoons of water to create a smooth sauce. Spoon generously over the chicken just before serving.
Serve immediately with the pearl couscous and roasted vegetables. Finish with a few fresh oregano leaves for a touch of freshness.
Benso Tip
For an even more refined finish, drizzle a little Benso Natural Balsamic Cream juste avant de servir. Son équilibre entre douceur et acidité sublime les poivrons grillés et relève délicatement la saveur du poulet. Accompagnez le tout d’une salade verte assaisonnée avec un peu de Benso Balsamic Vinegar for a fresh and well-balanced dinner.
Bon appétit !
