Steps
-
Preheat oven to 230°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Dice pumpkin 2-3cm; scrub beetroot and dice 1-2cm; quarter carrots lengthways and roughly chop. Toss veggies on prepared tray with oil, season and roast for 22-25 minutes, until lightly golden and tender.
-
Slice mushrooms; finely chop garlic; thinly slice onion; finely chop rosemary leaves; pat chicken dry and slice into 2cm strips.

Heat 1 teaspoon the oil in a large fry-pan on high heat until very hot. Season chicken then cook for 3-4 minutes, until almost cooked through. Set aside on a plate. Wipe pan clean, return to heat and add remaining oil.
-
Cook mushrooms, onion and garlic with a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until lightly caramelised and starting to soften.
-
Add mustard (if using), rosemary, stock, chicken and any resting juices. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked through. Add a little more stock if there is not much liquid left.
-
Remove pan from heat, stir though sour cream and season to taste. Set aside, covered.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard and honey. Add roasted vegetables to bowl with dressing. Toss and leave to cool for 2-3 minutes before tossing through spinach.
