  1. READY THE ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. IN A JAM

    Remove the skin from the lemon wedges. Finely chop the flesh and discard the pips. Place a pot over a medium-high heat. Add the chopped lemon flesh, the sliced onions, the balsamic-Dijon, the sugar, and 100ml of water. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the lemon flesh has softened. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl. Set aside to cool and thicken in the fridge for at least 8-12 minutes. On completion, it should be a jam-like consistency.

  3. WHAT YOU SEED IS WHAT YOU GET

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan, with a lid, over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion.

  4. CHEEKY CHICKEN

    When the butternut has 10 minutes remaining, return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken breast dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the chicken on one side for 5-7 minutes until golden. Flip, pop on the lid, and fry for a further 5-7 minutes until cooked through. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the rub. Remove from the heat on completion and rest in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  5. ALL TOGETHER NOW

    In a salad bowl, add the roasted butternut, the toasted pumpkin seeds, the rinsed green leaves, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil. Crumble in the drained feta and toss until fully combined.

  6. LET’S EAT!

    Dish up the roasted butternut salad. Side with the tender slices of chicken and dollop over the lemon-onion jam. Garnish with the chopped chives. Stunning, Chef!
