Ingredients

To Serve

  • 2 Tbsp horopito tartare sauce

Veggies

  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 200g moe moe potatoes, diced 2cm
  • 200g kūmara, diced 2cm
  • 1 parsnip, diced 2cm
  • 1 carrot, diced 2cm

Chicken

  • 50g breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp plain flour
  • 300g free range chicken breasts, sliced 2cm

Broccoli Smash

  • 1/2 broccoli, finely chopped
  • 150g frozen peas
  • 1/2 Tbsp butter

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C (or 210°C fan bake). Bring a medium pot of salted hot tap water to the boil.
  2. Dice potatoes, kūmara, parsnip and carrot and toss with oil on a lined oven tray. Season with salt and pepper and spread out in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and tender.
  3. Pat chicken dry and slice into 2cm strips. Add to a medium bowl along with flour and toss to coat. Crack egg into bowl with chicken. Burst the yolk with tip of knife and toss to coat chicken. Place breadcrumbs and salt in a second medium bowl. Add chicken to bowl with crumbs, turn to coat each piece well and place on a plate or tray.
  4. Heat oil in a large frypan on medium heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until golden and cooked through.
  5. Finely chop broccoli. Cook broccoli and peas in pot of boiling water for 6-8 minutes, or until soft. Drain well, return to pot and roughly mash with butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
  6. Chicken with veggies, broccoli smash and horopito tartare sauce.
