Steps
-
Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium (if using). Cook quinoa. Bring stock to the boil in a medium pot on high heat with a lid. Once boiling, add quinoa and a pinch of salt. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 8 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
-
Prep chicken. Pat chicken dry and cut into steaks. Place your hand flat on top of chicken and slice through horizontally. Season and toss with a drizzle of olive oil and Middle Eastern spices.
-
Cook chicken. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook chicken for 3-5 minutes, each side, or until cooked through. Set aside covered to rest, then slice thickly before serving. Alternatively do this on the BBQ.
-
Prep tabbouleh veggies. Place all tabbouleh veggies in a large bowl. When quinoa is cooked, allow to cool a little, then add to bowl along with lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss well to combine and season to taste.
-
Make minted yoghurt. Combine all minted yoghurt ingredients in a bowl and season to taste.
-
Serve chicken with tabbouleh, minted yoghurt, hummus and sweet chilli sauce/hot sauce.
