Ingredients
- 100g PEPPAEW® Yellow Piquanté Peppers (30g plated, 70g for the purée)
- 50g goats cheese
- 180g chicken breast
- 150g rice, quinoa & bulgur wheat mix (cooked) – can use similar to your preference
- 25g pitted black peppers
- 30g Medjool dates
- Drizzle of chilli oil

Warming spices meet Mediterranean flare with this head-turning, flavour-packed dish. The balance of flavours matches the balance of nutrition, so treat yourself to some sweet heat with these beautiful PEPPADEW® Yellow Piquanté Peppers.
Method
- Drain the peppers and blitz the purée quantity with the goats cheese. You can leave this textured or pass through a fine sieve for a smooth finish.
- Remove the stones and finely slice the dates.
- Cook the bulgur mix as per the instructions, then lightly toss through the spices (½ tsp each is sufficient) and season. Leave with a lid on to keep warm.
- Score the chicken breast and cook on a medium heat, turning once, then use a lid to retain moisture whilst it finishes cooking. Cook until the juices run clear or until the core temperature is at 72°C.
- Plate the grains, topped with the chicken. Add the peppers, olives and dates to add their flicks of flavours, then drizzle with some chilli oil.
Notes:
Can be served with pasta, bread or with a white fish like haddock or cod.
