METHOD

Mix the chicken and marinade ingredients and leave for at least an hour, but ideally overnight. If marinading for an hour, at the same time chop and salt the aubergine for the salad. Remember to rinse the aubergine before using. To make the main dish you need a pan or dish that is large enough to hold all the ingredients and can go in the oven. Cover the bottom of the dish with raw quinoa. Then add the onions and peppers. Add the thyme and a little salt and pepper. Arrange the marinaded chicken over the top. Finally, pour over the hot stock until the chicken is half covered. Bake for 45 minutes at 180 degrees. Meanwhile, to make the aubergine salad, saute the aubergine for 20 minutes, then add some black pepper, the tomatoes, nutmeg and lemon. Add a little water, bring to the boil and simmer for 25 minutes. Serve with the steamed broccoli.
