  1. MARINATE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, the grated garlic, ½ the oregano leaves, a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste), ½ the spice mix, and seasoning. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Set aside in the fridge for 15 minutes.

  2. VEGGIES

    Thoroughly rinse and roughly slice the halved leeks. Place a pot (with a lid and large enough for the rice) over medium high-heat with a drizzle of oil and a generous knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced leeks and the carrot pieces until turning lightly golden, 5-6 minutes. Add the remaining spice mix and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

  3. SAVOURY RICE

    Add the rinsed rice and a pinch of salt to the pot with the leeks. Pour in 150ml of water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  4. ROAST CHICKEN

    Whilst the rice is on the go, place the marinated chicken on a roasting tray, without the excess marinade. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). In the final 5 minutes, coat the chicken in the reserved marinade.

  5. FRESH SALAD

    In a salad bowl, combine a generous squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Add the shredded leaves, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and the cheese shavings.

  6. TIME TO EAT

    Make a bed of the savoury rice. Top with the delicious yoghurt chicken and all the tray juices. Serve alongside the fresh salad and garnish with the remaining oregano. Well done, Chef!
