COOK THE CHOOK
Place a pan 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, 3-4 minutes. Flip, cover with a lid, and fry until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
CRISPY Chickpeas
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained Chickpeas until golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in.
PREP STEP
In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded salad leaves, the Cucumber half-moons, the chopped artichokes, the crispy Chickpeas, and the raisins. In a small bowl, loosen the tahini dressing with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
SET THE TABLE
Plate up the salad and top with the sliced Chicken. Crumble over the feta and scatter over the Croutons and the pine nuts. Drizzle over the loosened dressing.
