Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Heat a large saucepan over mediumhigh heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast freekeh, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill the saucepan with the boiled water. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 30-35 minutes. • Drain and rinse freekeh, then return to saucepan over medium heat. Add vegetable stock powder and cook, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

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

• Meanwhile, cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into small chunks. • Place prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with ras el hanout. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.

• Finely chop garlic, then set aside. • Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken steaks, until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Remove pan from heat and add honey, gently turning chicken to coat. • In the last minute, add the butter and garlic, gently turning chicken to coat.

• While the chicken is cooking, roughly chop parsley (reserve some for garnish!). • To the saucepan with the freekeh, add roasted veggies, parsley, and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Gently stir to combine. Season to taste.

• Divide freekeh salad with roast veggies between plates. Top with seared chicken. • Sprinkle over reserved parsley. • Top with a dollop of yoghurt to serve. Enjoy!
