Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut onion (see ingredients) into bite-sized chunks. • Place onion, diced beetroot and peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• While the veggies are roasting, finely chop garlic. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then cut into wedges. Roughly chop baby leaves. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken breast, Middle Eastern seasoning (see ingredients), the salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with pepper, then turn to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 2 minutes each side. • Transfer chicken to a lined oven tray and bake until cooked through, 8-12 minutes. • Remove from oven and drizzle over honey.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• While the chicken is cooking, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with the butter. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and beef-style stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add the couscous and stir to combine, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork. • Add the roasted veggies, baby leaves and lemon zest to the couscous and stir to combine. Season to taste.
• In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
• Slice honey-glazed chicken. • Divide roast veggie couscous between bowls and top with chicken, spooning over any resting juices. • Drizzle with lemon yoghurt and tear over parsley. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
