Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with Calabrian chili paste, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs, skin side down. Fry for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine pomegranate seeds, cooked chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water if necessary to reach desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Relish

    In a bowl, mix together the roasted tomatoes and chopped green olives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, spread a generous layer of the pomegranate chickpea hummus. Top with the fried chicken thighs, then spoon the roasted tomato and green olive relish over the chicken. Garnish with local microgreens.
