Poached Chicken, Hot Honey Roast Pumpkin & Feta Salad

Ingredients

For the Salad
1 large chicken breast (approx. 500g), fat trimmed
500g Kent or Butternut pumpkin, cut into 2-3cm cubes
1 large red onion, cut into wedges
1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp UmamiPapi Hot Honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
⅓ cup dried cranberries
⅓ cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
100g feta, crumbled
⅓ cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped
¼ cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
⅓ cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped
For the Hot Honey Dressing
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp UmamiPapi Hot Honey
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste

METHOD

1. For the chicken, bring a medium pot of water to the boil. Add the chicken, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes (depending on chicken size). Turn off the heat and let the chicken sit in the hot water for 5 minutes to stay juicy. Remove the chicken, rest for 5 minutes, then shred with your hands or two forks.

2. Preheat the oven to 190°C fan-forced. Place the pumpkin, onion and broccoli on a large lined baking tray. Drizzle with the olive oil and hot honey, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and caramelised and the broccoli is lightly charred.

3. For the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, hot honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

4. To assemble, add the roasted vegetables, shredded chicken, cranberries, almonds, feta, parsley, mint and coriander to a large serving bowl. Pour over the dressing and gently toss until coated, then serve.

5. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
