ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
CHICKEN PREP
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to slice into one side of the chicken, starting at the thicker side and ending at the thinner point (be careful not to cut all the way through). Open up the chicken so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin to create an even thickness. Season.
TOAST
Place the pine nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
RANCH DRESSING
Return the pan to medium heat with 10ml of oil. When hot, fry the NOMU rub until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and add to the ranch dressing. Mix in the chopped chives and season. Loosen with a splash of water if it’s too thick.
CRUMBED CHICKEN
In a shallow dish whisk 1 egg with 1 tbsp of water. Prepare 1 more shallow dish with the cheese crumb. Coat the butterflied chicken in the egg, and then in the crumb. Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed chicken until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.
SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the shredded green leaves, the halved tomatoes, the cucumber rounds, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
TIME TO EAT
Plate up the potato wedges. Side with the crumbed chicken and the fresh salad. Drizzle over the ranch dressing and garnish with the toasted pine nuts. Well done, Chef!
