  1. BEGIN WITH BEETS

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

  2. CHOP-CHOP

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. GOAT’S CHEESE GOODNESS

    In a small bowl, combine the goat’s cheese with the juice from 1 lemon wedge (to taste), the lemon zest (to taste), the grated garlic, ½ the toasted nuts, and ½ the chopped parsley. Season and set aside.

  4. STUFFED CHICKEN

    Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, slice into one side of the breast, starting at the thicker end and ending at the thinner point (be careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.) Open out 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. Season the inside of the chicken. Smear the goat’s cheese mixture onto the one side of the breast. Fold the other side of the breast over the filling to close it back up.

  5. INTO THE OVEN

    Season the outside of the chicken and drizzle with oil. Place the stuffed chicken breast on a separate roasting tray and roast in the hot oven until cooked through, 12-15 minutes. In the final 8-10 minutes, turn the oven to grill or the highest setting, and grill until golden brown.

  6. FOR SOME FRESHNESS

    In a bowl, combine a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Toss through the rinsed leaves and the cucumber half-moons.

  7. YOUR LAST STEP? TO ENJOY!

    Plate up the goat’s cheese stuffed chicken breast and serve the roasted beets alongside. Side with the dressed green salad. Garnish with the remaining toasted nuts and the remaining chopped parsley. Enjoy, Chef!
