Step-by-step recipe

check off as you go

  1. Préparer les légumes

    Épluche la carotte et la courgette. Coupe-les en petits dés de 1 cm. Réserve-les dans un bol.

    Tip · Coupe les légumes en morceaux réguliers pour une cuisson homogène.

  2. Cuire le poulet

    Dans la poêle antiadhésive à feu moyen, fais chauffer 1 cuillère à café d'huile. Ajoute le poulet coupé en morceaux et fais-le dorer 5 min en remuant. Sale légèrement. La viande doit être blanche à cœur et les jus clairs.

  3. Ajouter les légumes

    Dans la même poêle, ajoute les dés de carotte et de courgette. Fais revenir 2 min en remuant. Sale à nouveau si besoin.

  4. Mouiller et cuire

    Verse 30 cl d'eau chaude dans la poêle. Porte à ébullition, puis baisse le feu et laisse mijoter 10 min à couvert. Les légumes doivent être tendres.

    Tip · Si l'eau s'évapore trop vite, ajoute un peu d'eau chaude pour maintenir le niveau sans noyer le plat.

  5. Ajouter les pois chiches

    Ajoute les pois chiches égouttés et rincés dans la poêle. Laisse chauffer 2 min pour les réchauffer.

  6. Préparer la semoule

    Dans la casserole, porte 20 cl d'eau à ébullition. Verse la semoule, couvre et retire du feu. Laisse gonfler 5 min à couvert.

  7. Servir

    Répartis la semoule dans deux assiettes creuses. Ajoute le mélange poulet-légumes-pois chiches par-dessus. Serre chaud.
