Directions
Preheat the FORCE™ Grill to medium-high heat.
Season the butterflied chicken with salt and pepper, squeeze over the lemon juice and drizzle over the olive oil. Massage into chicken, then place onto the FORCE™ grill. Cook for 15 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through.
While chicken is cooking, add all ingredients for the Marinated Olives + Walnuts to a bowl and mix to combine. Allow to sit to marinate until ready to serve.
Make Lime Tomato Salad by adding all ingredients to a bowl and tossing to combine.
Add butter to a small saucepan over low-medium heat with the saffron. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, until fragrant and bright golden in colour. Brush over the chicken, then spoon over the Marinated Olives + Pistachios. Serve with the Lime Tomato Salad.
