PUMPKIN MASH
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, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Place the roasted pumpkin in a bowl with a knob of butter and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork and cover.
PREP STEP
Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a splash of water. Prepare a second shallow dish containing the cheesy crumb and seasoning. Coat the Chicken in the egg mixture, and then in the crumb. Set aside. In a bowl, combine the cooked chopped tomato, the grated garlic (to taste), and seasoning.
CHEESY CHICKY
Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, add the crumbed Chicken and fry until golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and place on a greased baking tray. Top the crumbed chicken with the garlicky cooked chopped tomato and the grated mozzarella. Set the oven to grill and bake for 2 minutes until the cheese is melted, and the chicken is cooked through.
SIDE SALAD
In a bowl, combine the rinsed shredded salad leaves, the sliced Radish, ½ the chopped oregano, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
YUM, YUM, YUMMY!
Plate up the pumpkin mash. Side with the Chicken parm. Dollop over the pesto and sprinkle with the remaining oregano. Serve the salad on the side. Dig in, Chef!
