olive oil

2 tspras el hanout

2 Tbsptahini

0.25cucumber

Instructions

Step 1

Place the chicken between two pieces of cling film or baking parchment on a chopping board. Using a rolling pin, meat mallet or any other blunt instrument, bash the chicken until it is about 1cm thick all over. Drizzle the chicken breast with a little olive oil, sprinkle over the ras el hanout and a good pinch of salt and pepper, then rub the spices into the flesh.

Step 2

Heat a griddle pan over the highest heat. Once searingly hot, carefully lay the chicken in the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side.

Step 3

Meanwhile mix together the tahini, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl to a creamy dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roughly chop the cucumber, radishes, pepper, mint and parsley. Scrape all the vegetables and most of the herbs into a serving bowl.

Step 4

Ping the grains in the microwave according to packet instructions. Once warmed, tip into your serving bowl. Pour in the tahini dressing, give everything a good mix.

Step 5

Come back to your chicken, which should now be cooked. Check by slicing into a thicker part to make sure the meat is white all the way through with no raw pink bits left. Slice the grilled chicken on a diagonal, place on top of the tabbouleh and scatter over the remaining herbs.
