Ingredients

ROASTED VEGGIE MIX

  • 600g gold kumara, scrubbed and diced 1.5cm
  • 1 courgette, diced 1.5cm
  • 1 capsicum, core and seeds removed and diced 2cm
  • ¾ red onion, cut into 1cm-thick wedges
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon GF dukkah (optional, adults)

DUKKAH CHICKEN

  • 550g chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons GF hummus
  • 2 tablespoons GF dukkah

TO SERVE

  • 1 bag mesclun leaves
  • Remaining hummus

Steps

  1. oven to 220oC. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium-high (if using).
  2. Toss kumara, courgette, capsicum and red onion on both prepared trays with olive oil. Season with salt and roast for about 25 minutes, until tender. Turn and swap position of trays once during cooking.
  3. While vegetables are roasting, pat chicken dry and cut into steaks. To do this, place your hand flat on top of chicken and use a knife to slice through horizontally to make 2 thin steaks.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. While pan is heating, toss chicken in a bowl with hummus, second measure of dukkah and a pinch of salt, until coated.
  5. Cook chicken, in batches, for about 3 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Wipe pan clean with paper towels and add more oil between batches, if needed. Cover with foil to rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing thickly.
  6. Toss mesclun in a bowl with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil (if desired). Toss first measure of dukkah on tray with roasted veggie mix (if using).
  7. Divide roasted veggie mix and mesclun between plates and top with slices of dukkah chicken. Serve remaining hummus on the side.
