Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Boil a kettle. Halve the beef tomato widthways. Quarter the lemon. Add the tomato, chicken, juice from 2 lemon wedges and oregano to a lined baking tray. Use the flat of a knife to crush the garlic into a paste, then combine with 1/2 tbsp oil. Rub the chicken and tomato with the garlic, then pour another 1/2 tbsp oil over the tray. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 20 mins.
- Heat a large, dry saucepan on a medium heat, then add the millet and toast for 1 min. Fill the pan with salted boiling water and turn the heat up to high. Boil for 18-20 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- After 20 mins, add the cherry tomatoes and almonds to the tray and bake for a further 4-5 mins. Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary.
- Tip the cooked millet onto the tray and mix well with the juices and remaining cherry tomatoes. Serve with the chicken, beef tomato and lemon wedges. Garnish with the pea shoots.
