BEGIN THE BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 200ml of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain if necessary, drizzle with olive oil, season, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
HALLO Halloumi
In a bowl, combine the Halloumi cubes and the rinsed tomatoes with a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Thread the halloumi and the whole tomatoes onto the skewers until all the ingredients have been used up. Cut any remaining tomatoes in half, season, and set aside. In a small bowl, loosen the pesto yoghurt with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
HERBACEOUS HERBS
Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the mixed herbs. When the bulgur is done, toss through ¾ of the chopped herbs and set aside.
BUTTERY Chicken
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 4-5 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 4-5 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.
EN GUARDE!
Place a grill pan or return the pan to high heat. When hot, grill the skewers until lightly charred and the tomatoes are slightly blistered, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).
