Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. Slice carrot into thick half-moons. Chop capsicum into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with chicken-style stock powder and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • In the last 2-3 minutes of cook time, add flaked almonds to the tray and roast until toasted.
• While the veggies are roasting, finely chop garlic. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine Sri Lankan spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil, then season. Add chicken steaks and toss to coat. Set aside. • Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer garlic oil to a small bowl, then add Greek-style yoghurt and stir to combine. Season to taste.
• When the veggies have 15 minutes cook time remaining, return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: Don't worry if your chicken gets a little charred during cooking. It adds to the flavour!
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• In a large bowl, combine roasted veggies, salad leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season to taste. • Slice Sri Lankan chicken. • Divide roast veggie salad between plates. Top with chicken, spooning over any resting juices. • Spoon over garlic yoghurt to serve.
