Ingredients
-
4 free-range chicken thighs, skin on
- 2 tbsp OMGhee
- 2 cups cooked black rice
- 1 cup diced capsicum
- ½ cup crumbled fetta
- ¼ cup fresh broad beans (or swap for cucumber, sliced green beans, asparagus, or any seasonal green you prefer)
- ¼ cup chopped, toasted almonds
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt
- Handful of fresh herbs, chopped
- Zest of half a lemon
- Salt, to taste
Directions
Heat the OMGhee in a hot frying pan and add the chicken thighs, skin side down.
- To achieve a beautifully crispy skin, let the chicken cook with the skin down for about 70% of the total cooking time before flipping to finish.
- In a large bowl, combine the black rice, capsicum, broad beans (or your seasonal green), crumbled fetta, and toasted almonds, mixing gently to blend the flavours.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yoghurt with the chopped herbs, lemon zest, and salt to taste. This creamy, zesty yoghurt adds a delightful contrast to the dish.
- Spread a generous layer of the herby yoghurt on your serving plate, then spoon over the black rice salad.
Arrange the crispy chicken thighs alongside the salad, letting the golden skin shine.
