Cooking Steps
• Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into wedges. • Place wedges on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until almost tender, 15 minutes. • Remove the tray from the oven and add diced bacon to wedges, then roast until golden, 10-12 minutes (you may need to break up the bacon with your hands!).
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Add passata, the brown sugar and the butter and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Season to taste.
• In a shallow bowl, combine Aussie spice blend and a generous pinch of pepper. • In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. • Dip chicken tenderloins into Aussie spice mixture, followed by the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.
Little cooks: Help crumb the chicken! Use one hand for the wet ingredients and the other for the dry ingredients to avoid sticky fingers. Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. • When the oil is hot, cook chicken until golden, 2 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a second lined oven tray. • Top each piece with the tomato sauce, then tear over parsley and sprinkle over shaved Parmesan cheese. Bake until the cheese has melted and the chicken is cooked through, 8-12 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• While the chicken is baking, roughly chop tomato. • In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and the white wine vinegar. Add tomato and mixed salad leaves. Toss to coat and season to taste.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!
• Divide the bacon wedges between plates. • Serve with the cheesy Aussie chicken parmigiana and tomato salad. Enjoy!
