Throw out the rule book to midweek cooking and try out creative combinations, like this Middle Eastern chicken with chickpea, herb & feta salad.
- In a large bowl combine sumac, 1 tablespoon oil, lemon slices and juice, reserving 1 tablespoon, then season. Add chicken, toss to coat, then cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to a large ovenproof frypan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3 minutes each side until lightly golden, then transfer to oven for 8 minutes until cooked through. Loosely cover with foil, then rest for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt butter and 2 teaspoons oil in a pan over medium heat. Season bread and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning, until very crisp. Remove from pan and keep warm. Add chickpeas to pan and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
- Slice chicken and toss with chickpeas, bread, parsley, onion and feta. Combine remaining lemon juice, oil and any resting juices. Drizzle over the salad and serve.
