Who said a gourmet steak dinner needs to take all night? We’ve paired juicy, pan-seared chicken with a fast-tracked chickpea salad tossed in warm, aromatic chermoula for a serious punch of texture and flavour. A zesty drizzle of creamy lemon-garlic yoghurt dressing ties it all together, proving that mid-week meals can still feel like an absolute treat.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook the chickpeas
1
  • Set your air fryer to 200°C. Drain and rinse chickpeas.
  • In a medium bowl, combine chickpeas, chermoula spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Season.
  • Place chickpeas into the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes until golden, shaking the basket halfway.

TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Place prepped chickpeas on a lined oven tray in an even layer. Roast until golden, 20-25 minutes.

Cook the chicken
2
  • Meanwhile, place your hand flat on top of 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, 5-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
    TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
Get prepped
3
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice radish and cucumber.
  • Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.
  • Finely chop garlic.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave garlic with a drizzle of olive oil in 10 second bursts, until fragrant. Add lemon zest and Greek-style yoghurt to garlic oil and stir to combine. Season to taste.
Finish & serve
4
  • Thinly slice chicken (if preferred).
  • In a large bowl, combine chermoula chickpeas, radish, cucumber, spinach & rocket mix, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
  • Divide chermoula chickpea salad between bowls. Top with chicken and drizzle over lemon-garlic dressing. Enjoy!
