• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut potato, carrot and white turnip into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice chives.
• Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine Nan's special seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and turn to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat butter and a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and flaked almonds, stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, then add chives and season to taste.
• When the veggies have 10 minutes remaining, return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken steaks and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
• When the veggies are roasted, add baby spinach leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to the tray and gently toss to combine. • Slice chicken. • Divide chicken and roast veggie toss between plates. • Top chicken with garlic almond crumb and serve with creamy pesto dressing.
