Cooking Steps

Roast the sweet potato
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning and season with pepper. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the potato between two trays.

Flavour the chicken
2

• Meanwhile, place your hand flat on top of each 
chicken breast and slice through horizontally to 
make two thin steaks.
• In a medium bowl, combine lemon pepper 
seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with 
pepper. Add chicken, turning to coat. 

Prep the tomatoes
3

• Halve snacking tomatoes.  

Cook the chicken
4

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
medium-high heat.
• Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-6 minutes 
each side (depending on thickness). 
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer  
pink inside.

Toss the salad
5

• Meanwhile, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. • Season, then add salad leaves and tomatoes. • Crumble in fetta cubes. Toss to combine. • In a small heatproof bowl, microwave Abuela's marinade until heated through, 30 seconds.

6

• Slice chicken.
• Divide zingy chicken, sweet potatoes and  
fetta-topped cherry tomato salad between plates.
• Drizzle with Abuela’s marinade to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Sept 2026
  • Flavour: Opinions on Abuela's marinade were divided — several found the flavour unpleasant or unexpected, while others enjoyed the overall dish without it.
  • Ease of prep: Most found the recipe straightforward and quick to cook.
  • Suggestions: One reviewer recommended squeezing fresh lemon over the chicken while it cooks in the frying pan for extra moisture and flavour. Another suggested baking the sweet potato whole rather than chopping it, resulting in a mash-like texture they enjoyed. Some found the rocket in the salad mix too bitter and preferred using spinach only.
