Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. • Cut beetroot into small chunks. • Cut brown onion into thick wedges. • Transfer veggies to a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell it's cooked when you can easily pierce it with a fork.
• While the veggies are roasting, pick and roughly chop mint leaves. • Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
• In a medium bowl, combine the honey, warm water and half the mint. Season. • Meanwhile, boil the kettle. Rinse quinoa & millet blend using a sieve.
TIP: Rinsing the grain blend helps remove any bitter flavour!
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. Add ras el hanout (see ingredients) and lemon zest and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add quinoa & millet blend, vegetable stock powder and a pinch of salt. Cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12-15 minutes. • Drain and return to saucepan.
• Set your air fryer to 200°C. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • Place chicken into the air fryer basket and cook until just cooked through, 15-18 minutes. • Remove from air-fryer and spoon over spoon over the honey and mint glaze.
TIP: No air fryer? Heat a medium frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Spoon over the honey and mint glaze until chicken is completely coated. Remove from the heat. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Divide the Moroccan quinoa and roasted veggies between bowls. • Top with the honey-glazed chicken and spoon over any remaining glaze from the pan. • Garnish with remaining mint and serve with lemon yoghurt. Enjoy!
