CRISPING PUMPKIN
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, ½ the Italian rub and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
LET’S GET STUFFED...
In a bowl combine the ricotta cheese with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, ¾ of the chopped parsley, and seasoning to taste. Mix well to combine until creamy.
Chicken POCKETS
Pat the Chicken breast dry with some paper towel and place on a chopping board. Where the breast is slightly thicker, make a small, horizontal incision. Using your fingers or a knife, gently break the flesh apart to make a little pocket for the stuffing.
POUL-TREE
Place the breast on a lightly greased baking tray. Stuff with the Italian stuffing, allowing some to spill out. Spread out the broccoli pieces around the Chicken. Coat both the broccoli and chicken pocket in oil and seasoning to taste. Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until the broccoli is charred and the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven on completion.
SOME SAUCY DIJON-VU
In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, mustard vinegar to taste and the remaining Italian rub. Loosen with warm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
STUFFED FEASTING!
Make a generous pile of rinsed leaves and charred broccoli. Top with the fragrant pumpkin pieces, then the juicy stuffed Chicken. Drizzle with the tangy mustard dressing & garnish with the remaining chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy, Chef!
