Cooking Steps

1
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 the saucepan with water, then add a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer freekeh, uncovered, until tender, 30-35 minutes. • Drain, rinse and return to pan over medium heat. Add the butter and stir until butter is melted and combined.

TIP: The freekeh is cooked when it has softened but still retains some bite.

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Grate the carrot. Roughly chop tomato. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then cut into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste and set aside. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine herb & mushroom seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Add chicken and turn to coat.

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from heat, then add the honey and gently turn chicken to coat.

TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
