What’s not to like about crumbed chicken breast? It’s a great way to introduce texture and keep the chicken moist while it cooks. Not to mention the roast veggie-packed salad which adds the perfect amount of flavour for an all-round amazing dish.

Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut beetroot into small chunks. Cut cauliflower into small florets. Slice onion (see ingredients) into wedges.
Place beetroot, cauliflower, onion and peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
While the veggies are roasting, place chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper. Pound chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is an even thickness, about 1cm-thick. In a shallow bowl, combine Nan's special seasoning, the plain flour and the salt, then season with pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. Coat chicken first in flour mixture, followed by the egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. When oil is hot, cook crumbed chicken until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for the best results, add extra oil as needed.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
In a large bowl, combine creamy pesto dressing with a dash of water. Add roasted veggies and salad leaves to pesto dressing. Season and toss to combine.
Slice golden crumbed chicken. Divide creamy pesto and roast cauliflower salad between plates. Top with chicken to serve.
