Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220ºC. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil.
  2. Prep & cook veggies. Toss yams, cauliflower, onion and oil on prepared tray. Season and roast for about 20 minutes, until golden.
  3. Cook egg. Cook egg in pot of boiling water for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled (10 minutes for hard-boiled). Drain, rinse under cold water for 2 minutes until cool, then peel. Cut into quarters and season.
  4. Prep salad ingredients. Set all salad ingredients aside in a medium bowl (except dressing).
  5. Prep & cook chicken. Heat oil in a medium frypan on medium-high heat, season chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through. Remove pan from heat, add chicken seasoning, mustard and a splash of water. Toss well to coat, season and set aside, covered, to rest.
  6. Finish salad. Add roasted veggies to bowl with salad. Add Caesar dressing, toss to coat and season.
  7. To serve, place roasted veggies and salad into a bowl. Top with chicken and egg.
