Chicken salad with freekeh and juicy peaches.
Ingredients:
  • 185g freekeh
  • 40.00 ml fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped, plus extra leaves, to serve
  • 40.00 ml fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 40.00 ml fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 72.80 gm olive oil
  • 8 chicken thigh fillets, fat trimmed, halved
  • 1 small avocado, chopped
  • 2 peaches, cut into wedges
  • 250g tomato medley, halved
  • 1 bunch watercress, leaves picked
  • 80g goat's cheese, crumbled
  • 40.00 ml pistachios, toasted, roughly chopped
Instructions:
  • Prepare freekeh according to the instructions on the packet. Then, rinse it under cold water and drain it.
  • Preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Mix herbs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper for seasoning. Place chicken thighs in a large snap lock bag or shallow glass dish, and coat with herb oil mixture.
  • Massage the coating onto the chicken. Sear chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Rest the chicken on a foil-covered plate.
  • In a generous bowl, mix together freekeh, creamy avocado, juicy peaches, vibrant tomatoes, and fresh watercress. Top with tangy goat’s cheese, crunchy pistachios, and fragrant parsley leaves. Finish with a luxurious drizzle of the remaining oil and balsamic vinegar. Season to perfection and enjoy this flavorful freekeh salad alongside succulent chicken.
