Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the parsnip, carrot and capsicum into bite-sized chunks. Drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients).
Place the parsnip, carrot, capsicum and sweetcorn on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
While the veggies are roasting, combine the Tex-Mex spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Add the chicken breast and turn to coat. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken until browned, 2 minutes each side.
Transfer the chicken to a second lined oven tray and bake until cooked through, 8-12 minutes (depending on size).
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is baking, combine the Greek-style yoghurt and mild chipotle sauce in a small bowl. Set aside. When the veggies are done, add the baby spinach leaves to the tray and toss to combine.
Slice the Tex-Mex chicken. Divide the roast veggie toss between plates. Top with the chicken. Drizzle over the chipotle yoghurt to serve.
