Instructions
Roughly chop the mint. Zest then juice the lime. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Toss together the chicken,lime juice, lime zest and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl) in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), then couscous, and half the red onion. Toast, stirring occasionally, until the couscous is lightly golden, 2-3 min. Add 2/3 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Cover and remove from heat. Let stand until the couscous is tender and liquid is absorbed, 5-6 min.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) When the seeds are done, transfer to a plate and set aside.
Using the same pan, increase heat to medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) then chicken. Sear, until golden, 1-2 min per side. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Roast in the middle of oven, until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 min. **
Meanwhile, place grapefruit, flat-end down, on a cutting board. Cut peel away from flesh from top to bottom, turning grapefruit as you go. Once peel is removed, slip a paring knife along each side of the white lines (membranes) of grapefruit to release segments in a large bowl. Add remaining onion, mint, vinegar, 1/2 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4ppl) to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Slice the chicken. Fluff couscous with a fork and stir in the spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the couscous between plates. Top with chicken. Spoon over the salsa. Sprinkle over the seeds.
