    Instructions

    1 Place bulgar wheat in a bowl and pour over chicken stock with enough boiling water to cover (about 1 cup). Leave for 15 minutes. Drain, place in a bowl. Leave to cool.

    2 Place chicken fillets in a plastic bag. Beat with a rolling pin to flatten into a piece that is evenly thin. Place in a non-metallic bowl. Sprinkle with seasoning and lemon juice, turning so the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside for 5-10 minutes.

    3 Preheat grill. Lightly spray a baking tray. Dip each chicken fillet in egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Place on baking tray and spray with oil. Grill until crumbs are golden brown – about 5 minutes. Turn chicken, spray and repeat.

    4 Add vegetables, herbs and dates to bulgar wheat. Toss lightly. Mix yoghurt, tahini, garlic and lemon juice together. Stir through bulgar wheat.

    5 To serve, place bulgar wheat slaw onto plates. Add sliced chicken fillet and serve.

    HFG tip

    If not serving within 30 minutes of making, stir through the beetroot at the last minute.
