Double Garlicky Chicken Freekeh Bowl

with Cucumber Salsa & Aioli

Difficulty: 1/3
Mediterranean

The Mediterranean has some very fresh dishes that leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. We’re taking a page out of their recipe book and creating a freekeh bowl studded with pitted olives, topped with zesty seared chicken and a cooling aioli for that pop of garlic we know and love. *We’ve replaced the white turnip in this recipe with tomato due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!*

Preparation

1

• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast freekeh, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with water, then add a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until freekeh is tender, 30-35 minutes. • Drain, rinse and return freekeh to the pan over medium heat. Add the butter and chicken-style stock powder, then stir until butter is melted and combined. TIP: The freekeh is cooked when it has softened but still retains some bite.

• While the freekeh is cooking, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. Thinly slice tomato into wedges (see ingredients) and baby leaves. • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a second medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chicken and turn to coat.

• When the freekeh has 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). TIP: Chicken is cooked when it's no longer pink inside.
