Cooking Steps

1

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.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The coconut-lime sauce was a standout, with many praising its delicious taste. Some found the spice mix on the chicken overpowering.
  • Ease of prep: Instructions were easy to follow, though some found it took longer than specified. Air frying the pumpkin saved time for one cook.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing sugar in the sauce, as the pumpkin adds sweetness. Finely chop makrut lime leaves to avoid tough, stringy bits.
  • Portions: Several customers suggested adding more vegetables or increasing the chicken portion for a more substantial meal.
  • Leftovers: Some enjoyed turning leftovers into a curry or stir-fry, adding versatility to the dish.
