Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a large bowl, a medium bowl, a sieve & a grater
Get the quinoa on
- Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain
Roast the chicken
- Meanwhile, dice the onion into 2cm chunks. Place the chicken flat onto the lined baking tray, along with the onion
- Drizzle with 1 tsp oil, then coat the chicken with the sundried tomato paste and a pinch of salt and pepper
- Roast for 16 mins, until cooked through
Build the salad
- Halve the tomatoes and olives. Cut half the cucumber into 1cm chunks. Remove the mint leaves from the stalks and finely chop. Zest and halve the lemon
- Add the tomatoes, olives, cucumber and mint to the large bowl, along with the rocket, the juice from half the lemon and 1 tsp oil. Season with salt and pepper
Make the tzatziki
- Finely grate the garlic. Coarsely grate the remaining cucumber (discarding the seeds), squeeze out any water
- Add both to the medium bowl, along with the yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper
- Stir the roasted onion, sumac and lemon zest into the quinoa
Plate up
- Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
- Serve the chicken and quinoa onto plates, with the salad and a spoonful of tzatziki alongside
- Garnish with the remaining lemon, cut into wedges
