PREGO CHICKEN MARINADE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the yoghurt with a drizzle of olive oil and the Prego spice to taste. Mix in some seasoning and the lemon juice to taste. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towel and add to the bowl of marinade. Toss until coated and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
GET YOUR ROAST READY
Place the drained chickpeas and butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out in a single layer. When the chicken pieces have finished marinating, nestle them amongst the veg on the tray. Reserve the remaining marinade in the bowl. Pop the roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and crispy. At the halfway mark, give the veggies a shift and baste the chicken with the reserved marinade.
TOAST THE SEEDS
Place the seed mix in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes, shifting occasionally, until the sunflower seeds are lightly browned and the pumpkin seeds begin to pop. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
A SALAD WITH CREAMINESS & CRUNCH
Place the halved baby tomatoes in a salad bowl. Toss through a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning, and set aside to marinate. Just before serving, add the rinsed salad leaves, the drained feta, and the toasted seeds to the bowl tomatoes. Toss to combine.
PREGO PLATE-UP!
Dish up some toasty butternut and chickpeas. Top with the prego chicken pieces and pour over any juices from the tray to your taste preference. Garnish with the fresh, chopped chilli to taste and serve the vibrant salad on the side. Excellent work, Chef!
