Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. In a dish, marinate the chicken in the juice of 1 lemon for 20 minutes. Transfer to a roasting tin, drizzle with the olive oil, scatter with the thyme and season. Add the garlic and roast for 25 minutes until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and cover with the hot stock. Cover and stand for 15 minutes until tender. Drain in a sieve, squeezing out the excess liquid.
- Fork through the extra-virgin olive oil, herbs, lemon zest and the rest of the lemon juice. Squeeze out the roast garlic and stir in. Fold through the feta and chopped hazelnuts.
- Cut the chicken into pieces and spoon onto the salad along with the beetroot. Drizzle with the juices from the roasting tin, and serve.
