👨‍🍳Method

Fluff the Couscous

5 min

Place the dry couscous in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Pour about 60ml of boiling water over it, cover tightly with a plate or cling film, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff it with a fork — it should be perfectly tender.

💡Don't stir the couscous while it steams — just let it absorb the water, then fluff once at the end for perfectly separated grains.

Sear the Chicken

10 min

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and coat lightly with zero-calorie cooking spray. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a little paprika. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked completely through. Let it rest for a minute, then slice it into strips.

Mix the Lean Peanut Sauce

2 min

In a small condiment cup (just like the one in the photo!), whisk together the powdered peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and warm water. Stir until it becomes a rich, creamy, and thick sauce.

💡Start with 1 tablespoon of water and add more gradually — you want it thick enough to drizzle, not watery.

Assemble the Rainbow

3 min

Build your bowl exactly like the vibrant photo! Lay down a bed of iceberg lettuce. Arrange the fluffy couscous, shredded carrots, sliced chicken breast, cucumber, shredded red cabbage, and cherry tomatoes in neat sections around the edge.

Add the Fats

1 min

Carefully place your sliced avocado and cubes of light feta cheese in the remaining spaces.
