  • Before cooking

    Bring a pot of salted water to the boil over a high heat.

  • 1. TO MAKE THE GRAPE CACIK AND MARINATE THE CHICKEN:

    Cut the grapes in half and add to a small bowl with the dill yoghurt and mix to combine. Remove the free-range chicken breasts from their packaging and pat dry with paper towel. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally by holding flat on a board and slicing through sideways. Place into a bowl with the Turkish marinade and turn to coat

    Rinse the buckwheat in a colander. Place the buckwheat in the pot and cover with boiling water and bring back to the boil over a medium high heat. Once up to the boil reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 mins. Drain buckwheat in a colander then add to a serving bowl with the baby spinach.

    Bring a pot of salted water to the boil over a high heat. Trim the ends off the green beans and cut in half. Cook in the boiling water for 3 mins then drain into a colander. Dice the cucumber in to 1 cm cubes. Add beans and cucumber to the buckwheat with 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper and mix to combine.

  • 4. TO COOK THE TURKISH CHICKEN:
