Peppery Grilled Chicken & Roasted Veg
with crispy chickpeas
Instead of adding seasoning at the end of your cook, let’s use the stand-out flavour of black pepper as the main feature. Freshly crushed black peppercorns coat a chicken breast that’s pan-fried in butter. Served with creamy feta & nutty salad and golden pumpkin, crispy chickpeas & silky onion. Enjoy your perfectly pre-peppered meal, Chef!

ROAST WITH THE MOST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the pumpkin and the Onion on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). When the roast has reached the halfway mark, coat the Chickpeas in oil and seasoning. Scatter the chickpeas over the pumpkin and onion and roast until golden and crispy, 12-15 minutes.
YOU’RE CRUSHING IT
Using a pestle and mortar or the back of a sturdy knife, crush the peppercorns until fine.
TOASTED NUTS
Place the walnuts in a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
BUTTERY Chicken
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. Fry the chicken on one side until golden, 4-5 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 4-5 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter, and the peppercorns. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
