1 packet
freekeh
(Contains: Gluten, Wheat; )
1
carrot
1
beetroot
1
leek
1 packet
roasted almonds
(Contains: Almond; )
1 packet
chicken breast
1 sachet
Aussie Spice Blend
1 bag
baby spinach leaves
1 sachet
Zesty Chilli Salt
1 packet
Greek-Style Yoghurt
(Contains: Milk; )
1
olive oil
½ tbs
honey
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • 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 the saucepan with water, then add a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 30-35 minutes. • Drain, rinse and return freekeh to the pan. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: The freekeh is cooked when it has softened but still retains some bite.
• Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into small chunks. Thickly slice leek. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop roasted almonds. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine Aussie spice blend, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and turn to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
• When the veggies are done, transfer them to the saucepan with freekeh. Add baby spinach leaves, the honey, zesty chilli salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste and stir to combine.
• Slice spiced chicken. • Divide honey-roasted veggie freekeh between bowls. Top with chicken. • Garnish with almonds. Serve with Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!
