Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place sweet potato and sesame seeds on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the sweet potato between two trays.

2

• Meanwhile, combine the plain flour, 1/2 the Southeast Asian spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Season, then add chicken breast, turning to coat. Set aside. • Finely chop garlic.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned, 2 minutes each side. • Transfer seared chicken to a second lined oven tray. Bake until cooked through, 8-12 minutes (depending on thickness). • Remove from oven, then set aside to rest.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

4

• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic, ginger lemongrass paste and remaining Southeast Asian spice blend, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk, the soy sauce and the brown sugar. Bring to the boil, then stir to combine. • Simmer until well combined and thickened slightly, 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

TIP: For extra flavour, add any chicken resting juices to the sauce!

5

• Meanwhile, halve cherry tomatoes. • Place cherry tomatoes and mixed salad leaves in a second medium bowl. • Drizzle with olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season, then toss to coat.

6

• Slice Southeast-Asian spiced chicken. • Divide salad and sesame sweet potato and chicken between plates. Top with chicken. • Drizzle over coconut dressing. Garnish with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
