CRISP & MARINADE
Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the drained chickpeas on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Spread out in a single layer and roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until crispy, shifting at the halfway mark. Rinse the chicken mini fillets to get rid of any residue from the packet and pat dry with paper towel. Add to a bowl with the Roast rub and a drizzle of oil, toss to coat, and leave to marinate until frying.
NUTS & GREEN GODDESS DRESSING
Place the walnuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle. Halve the avocado and set aside the ½ containing the pip for use in another meal. Scoop out the flesh and place ½ of it in a blender. Slice the rest, drizzle over some raspberry vinegar (reserve some for seasoning the dressing) and set aside. Add the yoghurt to the blender and pulse until smooth. Gradually loosen with milk or water in 30ml increments until drizzling consistency. Mix in more raspberry vinegar and seasoning according to your preference.
KALE KALE KALE
When the roast has 6-8 minutes to go, scatter over the kale and return to the oven for the remaining roasting time. On completion, the kale and chickpeas should be crispy.
GOLDEN CHICKEN
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, pop in the mini fillets along with the marinade from the bowl. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from the heat on completion and set aside to rest in the pan for 3 minutes.
ASSEMBLE!
Place the peas in a bowl, submerge with boiling water and plump up for 2-3 minutes. Drain on completion and place in a salad bowl. Set aside one half of the rinsed apple for another meal. Cut the remaining half into cubes and add to the bowl of peas. Add in the crispy kale, ½ of the crispy chickpeas and ½ of the green goddess dressing. Toss until everything is fully coated in the dressing.
