Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Cut potato and carrot into bite-sized chunks.
• Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic and brown onion (see ingredients).
• Pick and finely chop rosemary (see ingredients).
• Thinly slice kale, discarding any larger pieces of the stalk.
• Cut or tear bake-at-home ciabatta into bite-sized chunks.
• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.

Bake the ciabatta & cook the kale
3

• Place ciabatta on a second lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and bake until golden, 5-7 minutes.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook kale and half the garlic until softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, then stir through flaked almonds and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Make the stuffing
4

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook onion until tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Add half the rosemary and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Remove from heat, then add baked ciabatta and toss to combine.
• Transfer to a small baking dish, then pour over the boiling water (see ingredients) and stock concentrate, mixing to combine. Drizzle with olive oil. Cover with foil and roast for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Remove foil, then roast until golden and heated through, 8-10 minutes.

Cook the chicken
5

• While the stuffing is roasting, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• In the last minute, add the butter, paprika spice blend and remaining rosemary, turning chicken to coat.

TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.

Finish & serve
6

• Slice chicken.
• Divide ciabatta stuffing, verdant greens and hearth veggies between plates.
• Top with dragon-smoked chicken.
• Drizzle over creamy maple dressing to serve. Enjoy!

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: Most found the combination of flavours genuinely satisfying, with the creamy maple dressing pairing especially well with the chicken. Some found the dish milder or drier than expected, so seasoning generously throughout cooking helps.
  • Ease of prep: The majority of reviewers flagged this as a time-consuming, multi-step recipe — many reporting over an hour from start to finish — so setting aside extra time is strongly recommended.
  • Suggestions: Several reviewers noted the stuffing timings were off; starting it earlier helps ensure everything is ready at once and the greens stay warm. One reviewer suggested blitzing the bread rather than tearing it, and cooking the vegetables a little longer than instructed to avoid burning.
  • Portions: Some families found the serving sizes on the smaller side and added extra vegetables to make it more filling.
