ROAST THE CHICKEN & DRESS THE VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towel and place on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ of the Roast Rub, and a little seasoning to taste. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the drained chickpeas in a bowl. Coat in oil and the remaining Roast Rub. Place ¾ of the shredded kale in a separate bowl. Massage with a small drizzle of oil and some seasoning until softened and coated. Set the chickpeas and kale aside.
DREAMY GREEN DRESSING
Halve the avocado and set aside the ½ containing the pip for use in another meal. Scoop out the flesh and place ½ of it in a blender. Cut the rest into cubes, squeeze over some lemon juice, and set aside. Add the yoghurt and ¾ of the chopped parsley to the blender. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon wedge (or to taste) and blend until smooth. Gradually loosen with milk or water in 10ml increments until drizzling consistency. Mix in more lemon juice and seasoning according to your preference, and set aside for serving.
IT’S HALFTIME
When the chicken is at the halfway mark, give it a shift, scatter over the chickpeas, and return to the oven. Place the walnuts in a small pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
FINAL ROAST ADDITION
When the roast has 6-8 minutes to go, scatter over the kale and return to the oven for the remaining roasting time. On completion, the chicken should be cooked through and the kale and chickpeas should be crispy.
ASSEMBLE THE SALAD
Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion and place in a salad bowl with the reserved fresh kale. Set aside ½ of the rinsed apple for another meal. Cut the remaining ½ into thin wedges and add to the bowl. When the roast is ready, add in the crispy kale and ½ of the chickpeas. Toss together until combined.
EAT LIKE THE GODDESS YOU ARE
Bowl up a portion of crunchy salad and scatter with the avo cubes. Top with the chicken and pour over the green goddess dressing to taste. Garnish with the remaining chickpeas, remaining parsley, and chopped walnuts. Gorgeous!
