• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• To a medium bowl, add haloumi and cover with
water to soak.
• Cut sweet potato into fries.
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive
oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between
two trays.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons.
• Slice tomato into thin wedges.
• Roughly chop kalamata olives.
• Pick and thinly slice mint leaves.
• Thinly slice red onion (see ingredients).
• Cut chicken thigh into 1cm-thick strips.
• In a second medium bowl, combine lemon pepper
seasoning, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
Add chicken strips, tossing to coat.

• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine onion,
the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar
and salt.
• Microwave onion in 30 second bursts, until
softened. Set aside.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips until
browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each
side. Transfer to a plate, season to taste with salt
and pepper and cover to keep warm.
• Drain haloumi and pat dry. Cut haloumi into
1cm-thick slices.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat
with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook haloumi until golden
brown, 1-2 minutes each side.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer
pink inside.

• To the bowl with pickled onion, add cucumber,
tomato, olives, mint and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss
to combine.
TIP: Kalamata olives are strong in flavour - add less
if desired!

• Microwave pita bread on a microwave-safe plate for
1 minute, until warmed through.
• Halve pita, then gently open up pocket and spread
with garlic aioli. Fill with olive salad, zesty chicken
and haloumi.
• Serve with fries and any remaining chicken, haloumi
and salad. Enjoy!
