Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup freekeh, uncooked
• 1/2 cup tzatziki
• 1/4 cup hummus
• 1 whole lemon, juiced and zested
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp dill, fresh, chopped
• 2 tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine lemon juice, zest, garlic, dill, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated, and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Allow the chicken to rest before slicing.
3. While the chicken is grilling, cook the freekeh according to the package instructions, then set aside.
