We’re going to share a secret with you - it’s easy to elevate chicken just simply season with the flavours of sweet and soy in the golden crumb. You can do the same with roast pumpkin by sprinkling over sesame seeds. A little change goes a long way.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over sesame seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. In a small bowl, combine garlic and the soy sauce. • When the pumpkin has 5 minutes remaining, remove tray from the oven, then spoon the soy-garlic mixture over pumpkin. Roast until tender and caramelised, 5 minutes.
• While the pumpkin is roasting, thinly slice celery. • 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, whisk the plain flour, sweet soy seasoning and the egg until combined. In a second shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt. • Coat chicken first in the egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. • Cook crumbed chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, combine shredded cabbage mix, celery, ponzu sauce and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl. Season to taste. • Divide sweet-soy crumbed chicken, sesame roasted pumpkin and ponzu slaw between plates. Serve with mayonnaise. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take charge by combining the ingredients for the slaw.
