1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken, smooth side down. Cook until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip chicken, and cook 2 minutes. Remove chicken from pan (chicken will not be done).
2. Add onion and garlic to pan; cook, stirring often, until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Add freekah and coriander; cook, stirring constantly, 45 seconds. Add chicken stock, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in raisins, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
3. Zest lemon to equal 1 teaspoon zest. Cut lemon crosswise into 8 thin slices. Uncover pan, and stir zest and oregano into freekeh mixture. Nestle chicken into freekeh, and top each piece of chicken with 2 lemon slices. Cover pan, and cook on low until liquid is absorbed and freekeh is done, 5 to 6 minutes.Q
