We're using our mild Caribbean jerk seasoning to give the classic combo of chicken and roasted potatoes some Jamaican mojo. A colourful slaw with charred corn brings added excitement to this devilishly delicious dish.

2 clove

1 packet
Greek-Style Yoghurt

olive oil
1 tsp
brown sugar
¼ tsp
salt
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
¾ cup
water

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice the red onion into 2cm chunks. Cut the carrot and parsnip (both unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Cut the capsicum into 2cm chunks. Place the onion, carrot, parsnip and capsicum on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time.

While the veggies are roasting, finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest the lemon (see ingredients list) to get a pinch, then slice in half. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, Creole spice blend, brown sugar, the salt, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a generous drizzle of olive oil.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness).
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
TIP: The chicken may char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
Before

While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork, then add the roasted veggies, baby spinach and lemon zest and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Thickly slice the chicken. Divide the roast veggie couscous between plates and top with the Creole chicken, spooning any resting juices over the chicken. Drizzle with the lemon yoghurt and garnish with the toasted almonds. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
