Instructions
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice brown onion. • Thinly slice tomato into half-moons. • In a large bowl, combine half the tomato and half the baby spinach leaves. Set aside.
Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!
• Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a large bowl, combine Italian herbs (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Add chicken, turning to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). • Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Cook the chicken in batches if your pan is getting crowded. The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar (for the onion), the brown sugar and a splash of water. Mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack, until heated through, 2-3 minutes. • Add a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar (for the salad) and olive oil to the salad. Toss to coat, then season to taste.
• Spread buger bun bases with a layer of creamy pesto dressing. • Top with herby chicken, caramelised onion and remaining tomato and baby spinach leaves. • Serve with sweet potato fries and salad. Enjoy!
