Cooking Steps

Roast the veg
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the red onion into 2cm chunks. Cut the beetroot (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Slice the butternut pumpkin into 2cm wedges. Place the onion, beetroot and pumpkin on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.

TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell it is cooked when it can be easily pierced with a fork.

prepare the chicken
2

While the veggies are roasting, place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, Aussie spice blend, a good drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Set aside.

Toast the pepitas
3

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pepitas and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the dill & parsley mayonnaise with the water. Set aside.

Cook the chicken
4

When the veggies have 15 minutes cook time remaining, trim and halve the green beans. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the green beans and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Set aside to rest.

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

Make the salad
5

To the bowl with the green beans, add the baby spinach leaves, roasted beetroot and onion, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine.

serve
6

Thickly slice the chicken. Divide the roast pumpkin, salad and chicken between plates, spooning over any resting juices from the chicken. Dollop over the dill & parsley mayonnaise and sprinkle with the toasted pepitas.

TIP: For the low-calorie option, omit the dill & parsley mayonnaise.
