Recipe: Dukkah crusted chicken with lemon hommus

November 6, 2015 by Shari

Making your own dukkah is super simple and a great alternative to crumbing chicken. You probably don’t want to purchase dukkah for crumbing, because for the amount that you’ll need it will cost a fortune. But it is extremely cost effective to make your own dukkah {not to mention the fact that it is super tasty}. I enjoy eating dukkah on top of eggs, with smashed avocado and fetta on toast, and even on some fresh sourdough with a little EVO.

I published this recipe back on Blogger in 2012 and you enjoyed it, so I thought that I would share it again here on WordPress. In reading the early blog post, I remembered that I was totally into watching Jamie Oliver’s 30 minute meals on TV and loved some of his quick tips that I still use in the kitchen today.

Like this one – to make store bought pitas pop … All you need to do is run some baking paper under the tap for about 10 seconds, scrunching the paper as you go so it absorbs water. Then flatten it out on a bench and place your pitas inside. Sprinkle the pitas with oil, salt and pepper and then bake in a preheated oven (around 180 degrees) for 5-10 minutes for some crunchy, yet soft in the middle seasoned pitas!

Recipe: Dukkah crusted chicken with lemon hommus
Recipe Type: Dinner
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup hazelnut meal
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • salt and pepper
  • 6 pita breads
  • 1/2 tub of hommus
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/2 bag of rocket
  • olive oil
Instructions
  1. Slice each chicken breasts into three pieces of equal size (so that they cook equally). Mix together the hazelnut meal, sesame seeds, coriander, cumin and the zest of the lemon. Season your mixture with salt and pepper and then crumb each of your chicken pieces.
  2. Lightly oil a frying pan and fry each of your chicken pieces. Whilst they are cooking run some baking paper under the tap for about 10 seconds, scrunching the paper as you go so it absorbs water. Then flatten it out on a bench and place your pitas inside. Sprinkle the pitas with oil, salt and pepper and then bake in a preheated oven (around 180 degrees) for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Into the hommus mix the juice of the lemon and a teaspoon of oil. Wash the rocket and then season with oil, salt and pepper.
  4. To serve, lay 2 pitas on each plate and then smear with a generous dollop of hommus. Place two pieces of chicken on top and then lay your rocket salad next to the chicken. DELICIOUS!

Do you make your own dukkah? Do you have a preferred nut for your dukkah base? Have you heard of wasabi sesame seeds? If you recreate one of my recipes, I would love for you to share it on social media with the hashtag #GoodFoodWeek.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new foll Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new followers of late. I wonder if you’re here because of my reels?? (And if so, you’ll probably also want to follow @smallbusinessgrowthclub )

If you are new… here is a little intro… I’m Shari - a mum of four small boys (although their little hands seem to be getting better and bigger). They are nine, seven, five and three.

I whip up quick and easy meals for my family. I currently work full time and so the content juggle is real 😩

But the thing is, I actually also have a blog - www.GoodFoodWeek.com.au - so you can drop by there for some of my tried and tested favourites. I’m fact, this Spanish beef is one of the most viewed recipes on the blog!

And if you aren’t new - I’d love to hear what are some of your favourite recipes from my blog.

I feel like the boys have had an overload of chocolate and I want to take it back to healthier alternatives… 

But in our household, I feel like everyone goes through stages. One week they’ll eat all the bananas in one day, so the following week I’ll order 3kgs instead of 1kg and no one will eat banana 🤦🏼‍♀️

I mean, I freeze them for smoothies or make banana bread so they don’t go to waste. 

But I’m keen to hear what snacks are popular in your household at the moment?

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
