Frequently asked questions

How long does Savory Chicken Oat Breakfast Bowl take to make?
About 35 minutes: 10 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of cooking. The chicken air fries while you grate the carrots and cook the oats.
Can I cook the chicken without an air fryer?
Yes, pan-fry the seasoned thigh pieces in a little oil over medium-high heat, turning them until golden and cooked through. You can also roast them on a tray in a hot oven.
What can I use instead of Lebanese seven spice?
Swap it for baharat, or mix ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice and black pepper. Use a light hand with the cinnamon so it does not overpower the savoury oats.
Is Savory Chicken Oat Breakfast Bowl vegetarian?
No, it contains chicken thighs, so it is not vegetarian. The base is savoury masala oats topped with grated carrot, cucumber, lemon juice and parsley.
How do I stop savoury oats turning gluey?
Stir them occasionally over medium heat and take them off as soon as they thicken. Oats keep thickening as they stand, so loosen them with a splash of hot water just before serving if needed.
