Method
Add salt to water and dissolve. Add chicken and leave for one hour.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Rub chicken with dukkah and leave for as long as possible.
Brush peppers with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove peppers from oven (leaving oven on) and allow to cool slightly. Remove skins and slice.
Meanwhile, cook rice and quinoa according to packet instructions and place in a large bowl. Add ¾ of the pine nuts, the garlic, onion, sultanas and sliced red pepper. Chop half the mint leaves and add to rice salad. Transfer to a large serving bowl.
Sear chicken in a hot, oven-safe frying pan with a touch of olive oil. Then cook in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and rest.
To make chilli sauce, place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Slice the chicken and sprinkle with remaining pine nuts and mint leaves. Serve with chilli sauce and salad.
