PREGO CHICKEN MARINADE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the yoghurt in a mixing bowl with the Prego Spice Mix to taste. Combine with the juice of 1 lemon wedge, a drizzle of olive oil, and some seasoning. Pat the chicken pieces dry with some paper towel and add to the bowl of prego marinade. Toss until coated and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
ROAST THE VEG
Place the drained chickpeas and butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out in a single layer. When the chicken pieces have finished marinating, nestle them amongst the veg on the tray. Reserve the remaining marinade in the bowl. Pop the roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and crispy. At the halfway mark, baste the chicken with the reserved marinade and give the veggies a shift.
TOAST THE SEEDS
Place the seed mix in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes, shifting occasionally, until the sunflower seeds are lightly browned and the pumpkin seeds are popping. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
ZESTY ITALIAN SALAD
Place the halved baby tomatoes in a salad bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil, season to taste, and set aside to marinate. Just before serving, toss together the marinated tomatoes, rinsed salad leaves, drained feta, and toasted seeds. Squeeze over some lemon juice and add some lemon zest to taste.
PREGO PLATE UP!
Dish up some toasty roast butternut and chickpeas. Top with the prego chicken pieces and pour over any juices from the tray to your preference. Garnish with the fresh, chopped chilli to taste and serve the Italian salad on the side. Excellent work, Chef!
