  1. ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the drained Chickpeas and the drained lentils on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast until golden and crispy, 12-15 minutes.

  2. MIX IT UP

    To a bowl, add the quartered tomatoes, the sliced Onion (to taste), the Cucumber rounds, the chopped olives, the lemon juice, and seasoning.

  3. FRY THE Chicken

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and coat in the NOMU rub. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
