8 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Salt & Pepper
4 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
2 Lemons, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
4 red plum tomatoes, cored and cut in half the long way and into ¼-inch slices
1 Red Onion Sliced into thin strips
3 Tbsp. Parsley or a handful of flat leaf parsley, rough chopped
1 C. (1 Pkg.) Freekeh Tamari Flavor
2 Cups Chicken Stock
2 Tomatoes
1 Pkg. Mushrooms or 10 to 12 sliced
Directions:
Prepare your Freekeh, or grain of choice with the chicken stock.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper (if desired) and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Place the chicken on the grill or wherever you are preparing it, and cook until marked and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, place a medium size pan over medium heat with a Tbsp. of EVOO. Add the Red Onion, Mushrooms until caramelized. Add the Freekeh and stir to combine.
In a separate serving dish, place the tomato slices & Parsley season with Salt and Pepper. Drizzle with the remaining Tbsp. of EVOO.
To serve, place a portion of the Freekeh mixture on each plate. Place 1 Breast or 2 chicken thighs on top of the Freekeh and some of the tomato & parsley alongside.
Freekeh, an Ancient and Complete Protein & Fiber grain, it fills you up for longer helping you conquer those in between meal cravings and is rich in vitamins. Tomatoes add flavor to this dish and reduce inflammation. Chicken is a lean protein and will satisfy your hunger and continue to burn fat after you have finished eating. Each of these ingredients works singularly to fight fat but when combined they become a fat-fighting super meal.
Enjoy!
