ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towel. Place on a roasting tray along with the onion wedges. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
IT’S GREEN. AND IT’S A BEAN.
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halved green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
CLASSIC FOR A REASON
In a salad bowl, combine the classic vinaigrette, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. If the dressing is too strong for your liking, whisk in 1-2 tsp of sweetener. Toss through the drained kidney & butter beans, the charred green beans, the diced tomato, and ½ the chopped parsley. Cover and set aside to marinate in the fridge for at least 15-20 minutes.
PRESTO! GET THE PESTO
Loosen the pesto with oil in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Just before serving, toss the shredded salad leaves with the marinated bean salad.
IT WAS MEANT TO BEAN, CHEF!
Make a bed of the flavourful three-bean salad. Top with the juicy chicken pieces and the onion wedges. Drizzle with the loosened pesto. Scatter over the crumbled feta and garnish with the remaining parsley.
