Cooking Steps

1
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the carrot, parsnip and beetroot into fries. Spread the veggie fries over a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.

2

While the fries are baking, place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a medium bowl, combine the Aussie spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and turn to coat.

3

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

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

In the last 2 minutes of chicken cook time, reduce the heat to medium, then add the BBQ sauce. Turn to coat the chicken. Top with the shredded Cheddar cheese and cover with a lid (or foil) until melted, 1-2 minutes.

Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. In a second medium bowl, combine the shredded cabbage mix, baby spinach, mayonnaise and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season to taste.

  • Next-day meals: Leftovers made great sandwiches the next day, with some finding it provided enough for lunch.
  • Veggie fries: The vegetable fries were a hit, offering a welcome change from potato chips. Some suggested parboiling then deep-frying for extra crispiness.
