ALMONDS FIRST
Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOLDEN CHICKPEAS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the rinsed chickpeas until golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
CHAR THE BABY MARROW
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the baby marrow pieces until charred, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.
CRUMB IT UP
Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a tsp of water. In a second shallow dish, combine the pea crumb and seasoning. Coat each chicken fillet in the egg and then in the pea crumb. Return the pan to medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed chicken strips until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, season, and drain on paper towel.
SIDE SALAD
To a salad bowl, add the shredded leaves. Toss through the sliced sun-dried tomatoes, ½ the toasted almonds, the crispy chickpeas, the diced tomato, the lemon juice (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
DINNER = SERVED
Serve up the chickpea & sun-dried tomato salad, scatter over the charred baby marrow, and crumble over the drained feta. Top with the golden crumbed chicken strips and drizzle generously with the sriracha mayo. Garnish with the remaining toasted nuts. Enjoy, Chef!
