Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While the pumpkin is roasting, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, a small drizzle of olive oil and a generous drizzle of white wine vinegar.
• When the pumpkin has 10 minutes left, heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded!). • Remove pan from the heat and stir through Sichuan garlic paste.
• In a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, the roast pumpkin and cucumber. • Pour over the soy dressing and toss to coat.
TIP: Let the pumpkin cool slightly before adding to the salad to keep the leaves crisp.
• Divide Asian roast pumpkin salad mix between bowls. Top with sticky Sichuan chicken. • Spoon over any remaining sauce from the pan. • Garnish with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
