Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken skin-side down until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 3 minutes more.
Step 3
Remove chicken to a plate. Add freekeh to the same skillet, stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in broth, nestle chicken back on top, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until freekeh is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes.
Step 5
Divide freekeh and chicken between bowls. Top each with a dollop of yogurt and scatter almonds and pine nuts over the top.
