Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice pumpkin and red onion into thin wedges. • Place pumpkin and onion on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Peel the pumpkin if you prefer!

2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato, cucumber and roasted almonds. • Thinly slice apple into wedges. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken steaks until cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

3

• In a large bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, apple, spinach & rocket mix, basil pesto and a drizzle of vinegar. Season to taste.

4

• Slice chicken. • Divide salad between bowls. • Top with roast pumpkin, onion and chicken. • Sprinkle with almonds and crumble over marinated goat cheese to serve. Enjoy!
