with Roast Veggie Toss & Creamy Pesto
You can't go wrong with garlic and herbs, or vibrant roasted veggies, or creamy pesto. This meal is a greatest hits of our favourite flavours, with juicy chicken breast leading the way. *Unfortunately, this week's capsicum was in short supply due to harsh weather conditions, so we've replaced it with tomato. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious!*

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato into bite-sized chunks. Cut the beetroot into small chunks. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Slice the tomato into thick wedges.
Place the potato and carrot on a lined oven tray. On a second lined oven tray, place the beetroot and tomato. Drizzle both veggie trays with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Beetroot stays firms when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.
While the veggies are roasting, combine the garlic & herb seasoning, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl. Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Add to the garlic & herb mixture, turning to coat.
When the veggies have 5 minutes remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the slightly cooled roasted veggies and baby spinach leaves in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the creamy pesto dressing and the water. TIP: Toss the veggies on one of the oven trays to save washing up!
Slice the garlic and herb chicken. Divide the roast veggie toss between plates. Top with the chicken, spooning over any resting juices. Drizzle with the creamy pesto dressing and sprinkle with the pepitas to serve.
