  1. ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CHICKEN PREP

    Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing ¾ of the flour (seasoned lightly) and the other containing the breadcrumbs. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and season. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour, then in the egg, and, lastly, in the breadcrumbs.

  3. GOLDEN CHICKEN

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed fillets until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and season.

  4. CHEESE SAUCE

    Place a small pot over medium heat with 10g of butter. Once melted, vigorously mix in the remaining flour to form a roux. Cook out the flour, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk. Once the milk is incorporated, add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Season and remove from the heat. Add a splash of water or milk (optional) if the sauce is too thick.

  5. TIME TO EAT

    Plate up the butternut wedges, side with the chicken strips, and drizzle the cheese sauce over the chicken. Garnish with the chopped parsley. Well done, Chef!
