How to make Grilled Chicken & Eggplant with Halloumi & Vegetables
-
Start by chopping your bell pepper, onion, and zucchini.
-
Slice your eggplant into long, thin pieces, along with the halloumi cheese.
-
For the dips, start by mashing half an avocado, and seasoning it with chili pepper and a squeeze of lemon, then place it in a small bowl.
-
Next, chop the 2 large salad tomatoes, removing the insides and pips and just cutting the outside flesh. Place this into another little dipping bowl, and season with lime, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
-
Finally, make a yogurt and mint dip by mixing the natural yogurt with chopped mint, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkle of pepper, and add to a third bowl.
-
Add the pepper, onion, and zucchini to a roasting pan with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for approximately 10–15 minutes at 320°F, until soft.
-
Place the eggplant and halloumi in a griddle pan or on a George Foreman-style grill. Cook on both sides and place in the oven to keep warm.
-
Use the same pan or grill to cook the chicken breast steak on a low heat to keep it succulent.
-
Add a handful of kale and button mushrooms to a pan and season with paprika, salt, pepper, and a dash of olive oil. Fry off for a few minutes.
-
Transfer into the oven roasting pan to crisp up. The kale should get nice and crispy.
-
Cook your rice according to instructions on pack and serve to finished your dish
