WHAT A GEM
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the gem squash halves on a roasting tray, cut-side up. Lightly drizzle with oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until soft, 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes. At the halfway mark, pop a small knob of butter into each half and return to the oven for the remaining time.
SUNNY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
MMMUSHROOMS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mushrooms until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
GOLDEN Chicken
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 4-5 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 4-5 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 10-12 minutes (shifting halfway).
GRILLED CHEESE
Use two forks (one to secure the Chicken and the other to shred) and gently shred the chicken. Mix with the mushrooms. Stuff the gem squash cups with the chicken filling, and scatter over the cheese. Return to the oven and grill until the cheese has melted and lightly golden, 4-6 minutes.
TANGY, NUTTY SALAD
To a bowl, add the leaves, Cucumber, sun-dried tomato, and the sunflower seeds. Toss through the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
