Elevate your chicken dinner with a flavorful artichoke freekeh risotto.

Ingredients:

637.50 gm chicken style liquid stock
65.63 gm lemon juice
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to serve
36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
2 chicken breast fillets
1 brown onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
500.00 ml roasted cracked freekeh (see notes)
82.50 gm dry white wine
230g jar marinated artichokes, drained
225g jar marinated antipasto, drained, chopped
60g baby rocket
82.50 ml finely grated parmesan, plus extra to serve

Instructions:

In a saucepan over medium heat, gently simmer together stock, 1 cup water, lemon juice, and thyme until fragrant.
Heat oil in a large, deep heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Place the onions into the pan and cook them until softened while stirring occasionally, which should take about 5 minutes. Next, add the garlic and freekeh, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Pour in the wine and let it simmer for about 1 minute until it is reduced by half.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in 1/3 cup of the stock mixture. Stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. Gradually add more stock in batches, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed and the freekeh is tender, about 20 to 25 minutes in total.
Thinly slice the chicken and combine it with the freekeh mixture, artichoke, antipasto, rocket, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, then stir everything together. Serve with extra thyme and parmesan on top.
