Method
- Rinse the freekeh under cold water and drain. In a medium saucepan, combine freekeh and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork when done.
- While the freekeh is cooking, season the chicken thighs with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- In the last 5 minutes of the chicken cooking time, add the chopped bell peppers and onion to the air fryer basket.
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it.
- Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of freekeh, topped with the roasted bell peppers and onion. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
