recipe

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Peel & cube the sweet potato.
  • Step 2
    Wash & cut the broccoli into florets. Halve the florets to create a flat edge.
  • Step 3
    Cover the chicken with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet, rolling pin or wooden spoon to pound & tenderize the chicken.
  • Step 4
    Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Add broccoli florets & cubed potatoes* to one side. Arrange the chicken breast on the other side. Season all over with salt & pepper. Add a generous drizzle of olive oil & toss well to combine. Roast in the oven at 220°C for 18-20 min, or until the chicken is fully cooked. *Check out our tips for this step
  • Step 5
    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine a half a tbsp olive oil, tahini paste, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt & 1 tbsp of ice water. Whisk well until the sauce is thick & creamy. Thin the sauce with ice water as needed.
  • Step 6
    Remove the sheet tray from the oven. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board & cover with foil. Toss the veggies & return to the oven until crisp, about 10 more min.
  • Step 7
    Remove the foil & slice the chicken.
  • Step 8
    Remove the veggies from the oven & serve with the chicken. Drizzle over with the tahini/ maple syrup sauce & enjoy !

Recipe tip

Steam your sweet potatoes before roasting, for more tender veg.
