We can’t decide which we like best in this dish - the succulent spiced chicken, crunchy pear salad or oregano roasted veggies topped with creamy pesto mayo. We’ll leave it up to you, but don’t be shy about agreeing that every element is hard to beat.
2
potato
1
parsnip
1 sachet
dried oregano
½
pear
1 packet
basil pesto
(Contains: Milk, Almond, Cashew, Pine Nut, Walnut; )
1 packet
mayonnaise
(Contains: Eggs; May be present: Fish, Wheat, Cashew, Almond, Sesame, Soy)
1 packet
chicken breast
1 sachet
Nan's Special Seasoning
1 bag
salad leaves
Olive Oil
½ tbs
plain flour
(Contains: Gluten; )
drizzle
red wine vinegar

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato and parsnip into 2cm chunks. Place the potato, parsnip, dried oregano and a drizzle of olive oil on a lined oven tray. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the veggies to size so they cook in time.

While the veggies are baking, thinly slice the pear (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto and mayonnaise. Set aside. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and Nan's special seasoning, then season with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken into the flour mixture, then transfer to a plate.

When the veggies have 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken, in batches, until golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Meanwhile, combine a drizzle of red wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl, then season. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

Add the pear and mixed salad leaves to the vinegar dressing and toss to coat. Slice the chicken. Divide the chicken, oregano-baked veggies and pear salad between plates. Serve with the pesto mayo.
