1
butternut pumpkin
2 clove
garlic
2 leaves
makrut lime leaves
1 bag
green beans
1 packet
chicken breast
1 tin
coconut milk
½ cube
chicken stock
1 bunch
Asian greens
1 sachet
Southeast Asian Spice Blend
olive oil
1 tsp
brown sugar
1 tbs
soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari soy sauce)
(Contains: Soy, Gluten;)

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the butternut pumpkin into thin slices. Place on a lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Peel the skin if you prefer!

While the pumpkin is roasting, finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the makrut lime leaves. Trim the green beans. Roughly chop the Asian greens. In a medium bowl, place the chicken breast, Southeast Asian spice blend and the crumbled chicken stock (1/2 cube for 2 people/1 cube for 4 people). Season, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. TIP: Makrut lime leaves have a fibrous texture, so you want to slice them thinly!

In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned, 2 minutes each side. Transfer to a second lined oven tray and bake until cooked through, 6-10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to rest and keep warm.

Wipe out the frying pan and return to a mediumhigh heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the green beans with a dash of water, tossing, until just softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the Asian greens, the soy sauce, and another dash of water and cook, tossing, until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the garlic and lime leaves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Bring the heat to low and add the coconut milk and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Simmer until reduced slightly, 4-5 minutes.

Slice the spiced chicken. Spoon the sauce onto a plate. Top with the roasted pumpkin wedges, ginger greens and chicken.
