Courtney Roulston

SERVING SIZE:

2 – 4 people

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 x 400g bag Birds Eye Sweet Potato
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 medium sized chicken breast, trimmed
• 180g Jalna Lactose Free Greek yoghurt
• 1 teaspoon sriracha chilli sauce
• 1 x 250g Coles black rice ready eat microwave pouch
• 3 cups baby spinach leaves
• 1/3 cup pepita seeds, toasted, slightly crushed

HERB OIL:

• ¼ bunch basil, leaves picked
• ¼ bunch coriander, washed, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons honey
• Pinch sea salt flakes
• ¼ cup Cobram Estate Classic EVOO

METHOD:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
• Toss the sweet potato and chicken breasts with the extra virgin olive oil, cumin seeds, cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt flakes. Place onto lined oven trays and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
• Meanwhile blitz the herb oil ingredients in a blender until smooth and bright green. Gently swirl the yoghurt and sriracha sauce together, so it has streams running through it.
• Mix the black rice and spinach together in a bowl and place onto the base of a serving platter. Slice the chicken into 1/2 cm strips and arrange over the top of the spinach along with the roasted sweet potato. Drizzle over the chilli yoghurt, herb oil and scatter with crushed pepita seeds. Serve warm.
