2
potato
1
parsnip
1
onion
½ tbs
brown sugar
(May be present: Gluten, Milk, Peanuts, Sesame, Soy, Almond, Cashew, Pistachio, Walnut)
1
beetroot
1 packet
chicken breast
2
Butter Burger Buns
(Contains: Gluten, Soy, Eggs, Milk; May be present: Peanuts, Sesame, Tree Nuts, Sulphites)
1 bag
salad leaves
1 packet
Dill & Parsley Mayonnaise
(Contains: Soy, Eggs; )
½ sachet
Italian Herbs
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
olive oil
¼ tsp
salt
½ tbs
water
1 tbs
balsamic vinegar

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato and parsnip into fries. Place the veggie fries on a lined oven tray, season with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

While the fries are baking, thinly slice the red onion. Scrub and grate the beetroot. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the onion and beetroot, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, water and brown sugar and cook until dark and sticky, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Wear rubber gloves to prevent the beetroot from staining your hands.

While the relish is cooking, place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast. Use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.

In a large bowl, combine the Italian herbs (see ingredients), the salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken breast, then season with pepper and turn to coat.

Wash and dry the frying pan, then return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil (if needed). Cook the chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if the pan is getting crowded). In the last 3 minutes of cook time, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and cover with a lid (or foil) to melt the cheese. Remove from the heat and set aside. Meanwhile, bake the butter burger buns directly on a wire oven rack in until heated through, 3 minutes.

Slice the burger buns in half, then spread some dill & parsley mayonnaise over the base. Top with some mixed salad leaves, the cheesy chicken and beetroot relish. Serve with the veggie fries.
