Asado Chicken Breast

What should we cook today, Chef? Let’s do asado! Originating from the Spanish word ‘asar’, which means to grill, this Argentinian dish will bring flavours of an outdoor braai indoors. A special UCOOK Asado spice coats a chicken breast, sided with roasted pumpkin and a pineapple & jalapeño salsa.

  1. IN GOES THE PUMPKIN

    Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the pumpkin pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. ASADO MARINADE

    Dilute ½ the stock sachet in a bowl with 50ml of boiling water. Mix through the Asado seasoning, ½ the grated garlic, a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and add to the marinade. Mix and set aside.

  3. ON TO THE SPINACH

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ½ the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the remaining grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 30 seconds - 1 minute (shifting constantly). Mix through the rinsed spinach until wilted, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, cover and set aside.

  4. JUICY CHICKEN

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade behind in the bowl. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 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.

  5. TURN INTO A SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, pour in the reserved marinade and simmer until reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  6. SALSA STEP

    In a separate bowl, combine the remaining diced onion (to taste) with the chopped pineapple, the jalapeño relish, ½ the chopped coriander, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.

  7. DINNER’S READY!

    Plate up the golden chicken, drizzled with the sauce. Serve the roasted pumpkin and sauteed spinach alongside. Place the fresh salsa on the side and garnish with the remaining coriander.
