Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut parsnip, beetroot and carrot into bite-sized chunks. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Place parsnip, beetroot and carrot on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast veggies until golden and tender, 20-25 minutes.
Little cooks: Help toss the veggies.
• Roughly chop silverbeet. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook silverbeet until tender, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• When the veggies have 10 minutes remaining, place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a large bowl, combine Aussie spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Add chicken and turn to coat.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken in batches until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it's no longer pink inside.
• When the veggies are done, add silverbeet and a drizzle of white wine vinegar to the tray. • Toss to combine and season to taste.
• Slice the chicken. • Divide spiced chicken and roast pumpkin and veggie toss between plates. • Drizzle with creamy pesto dressing to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by drizzling over the pesto dressing!
