Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Slice the peeled pumpkin into 1cm wedges. Cut the carrot (unpeeled) unto 1cm rounds. Place the pumpkin and carrot on an oven tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the veggies to size so they cook in time.
While the veggies are roasting, combine the salt, a drizzle of olive oil and 1/2 the Southeast Asian spice blend in a medium bowl. Add the chicken breast, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside. Finely chop the garlic.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned, 2 minutes each side. Transfer the chicken to a second oven tray lined with baking paper and bake until cooked through, 6-10 minutes (depending on size). Remove the chicken from the oven and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is baking, cut lime into wedges. Return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil (no need to wash the pan!). Add the garlic and remaining Southeast Asian spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, a squeeze of lime juice, soy sauce and brown sugar. Stir to combine, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside. TIP: Add a dash of water if the mixture seems too thick!
Thinly slice radish. Place radish and salad leaves in a large bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and white wine vinegar and toss to coat.
Slice the Southeast Asian spiced chicken. Divide the salad, veggies and chicken between plates. Drizzle the lime and coconut dressing over the chicken. Garnish the salad with the crushed peanuts. Enjoy!
