1 packet
Peeled Pumpkin Pieces
1 unit
onion
1 packet
chicken breast
1.5 sachet
dukkah
(Contains: Sesame; )
1 block
feta cheese
(Contains: Milk; May be present: Tree Nuts. )
1 packet
Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)
1 bag
baby spinach leaves
1 unit
beetroot
olive oil
2 tsp
balsamic vinegar
½ tsp
honey
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Chop the peeled pumpkin into 2 cm cubes. Chop the beetroot (unpeeled) into 1 cm cubes. TIP: To prevent stained fingers, pop on some gloves! Slice the red onion into 2cm wedges. TIP: Chopping the veg into the correct small size allows them to cook in the allocated time.
Place the pumpkin, beetroot and red onion on the oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and place into the oven to cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and golden. TIP: Beetroot is still quite firm even when cooked. It's done when it is just tender and can be pierced with a fork.
While the vegetables are cooking, place the chicken breast in a medium bowl and add the dukkah (use suggested amount) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden. In the last 10 minutes of vegetable cooking time, transfer the chicken to the oven tray with the veggies (on the side or directly on top of the veggies) and sprinkle over the pepitas. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 6-10 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through. TIP: Chicken cook times will vary depending on the thickness of the fillet. Set aside to rest for a few minutes. Thickly slice.
Transfer the roasted veggies and pepitas to a medium bowl. Add the baby spinach leaves, olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people), honey and the balsamic vinegar and crumble in the feta. Toss to combine.
Divide the dukkah-crusted chicken and the roast veggie-feta toss between plates.
