Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220ºC. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a full kettle to the boil.
-
Cook bulgur. Place bulgur and a pinch of salt in a medium, heat-proof bowl. Cover with boiling water and a plate and leave for 15-18 minutes, until tender. Drain through a sieve.
-
Prep & roast veggies. Toss beetroot, carrot and salt with first measures of oil and chicken spice mix on prepared tray. Roast for 15 minutes to start with.
-
Make chimichurri. Mix all chimichurri ingredients together in a small bowl.
-
After veggies have roasted for 15 minutes, toss through broccoli. Roast a further 10 minutes, until veggies are tender.
-
Prep & cook chicken. Pat chicken dry and add to a bowl with lemon juice and second measures of chicken spice mix, oil and salt. Toss to coat.
-
Heat a large, dry fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness), until just cooked through. Set aside, covered, to rest. Slice thickly, reserving any resting juices.
-
Assemble salad. Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients in a large bowl. Add bulgur, roast vegetables, spinach and chicken resting juices (if desired) to bowl with vinaigrette and toss together. Season.
-
To serve, divide chicken, roast vegetables and bulgur between plates. Drizzle with chimichurri.
