PUMPKIN MASH
Place the pumpkin pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
GOLDEN SEEDS
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
BUTTERFLIED Chicken
Pat the Chicken breast dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Use a knife to slice into one side of the breast, starting at the thicker side and ending at the thin point (don’t cut all the way through.) Open up the breast so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin or bottle to create an even thickness.
GLUTEN-FREE Crumb
Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a tsp of water. Prepare another shallow dish containing the gluten-free Crumb, the grated cheese, and seasoning. Coat the flattened Chicken breast in the egg and then in the gluten-free crumb.
Cabbage SIDE
In a bowl, combine the sliced Cabbage, the lemon juice, a sweetener, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
GOLDEN SCHNITZEL
Return the pan to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed Chicken until golden, 1-3 minutes per side. Season.
