    2. When the chicken has marinated, roll up each fillet and secure with a cocktail stick. Place in a lightly oiled roasting tray in a preheated oven 200°C, gas mark 6, for 20-25 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.
    3. To assemble, place a large round pastry cutter in the middle of each plate and fill with the tabbouleh salad, pressing down firmly with a spoon. Remove the cocktail stick from the chicken and slice diagonally. Remove the cutter, place 3-4 pieces of the cooked chicken on top of the salad and garnish with fresh mint. Drizzle the oil from the peppers around the outside of the salad.
