Cut the chicken into small pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Saute the chicken in the pot for 6 minutes.
Add the freekeh and toast for 2 minutes so its smoky aroma opens in the fat.
Add the grated tomato and hot water, then close the lid.
Cook the pilaf for 12 minutes and rest for 8 minutes so the freekeh does not become mushy.
Fluff the chicken freekeh pilaf with a fork so the chicken pieces do not stay at the bottom.
💡 Tip: Turning the freekeh for 2 minutes first helps preserve the grain structure.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pilaf hot as a main meal with yogurt on the side.
