Looking for an effortless but delicious dinner that won’t leave you with much cleaning up? This recipe ticks the boxes! We love that all you need to do is cut, assemble, dress, bake and you’re left with an utterly tender chicken breast and perfect roasted veggies. There’s no doubt in our minds that this recipe won’t hit the spot after a long day.

You also don’t need to worry if you don’t have the specific veggies in the ingredients list on hand. You can absolutely sub in anything that you have in your fridge or pantry! We’ve tried and tested it with broccolini, potato, eggplant and zucchini and can confirm they all work a treat too.

Our top tip for making the cleanup even more effortless is to ensure that you use sufficient baking paper to stop your maple dressing from seeping onto your tray and getting all sticky.

We also love that when you’re cooking for 2, you can keep the third serving as leftovers for your lunch tomorrow – talk about a win win!

Ingredients

500g chicken breast

110g asparagus

350g pumpkin

100g sweet potato

40ml maple syrup

20ml lemon juice

40ml extra virgin olive oil

7g garlic powder

30g rocket

1 pinch salt

1 pinch pepper

Method

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius. Chop roughly 1 inch off the bottom of the asparagus as it is too fibrous even after cooking, skin the pumpkin and sweet potato and chop into small bite sized pieces and slice the onion.

Step 2

Line a baking tray with baking paper, and roughly add the chicken, pumpkin, onion, sweet potato and asparagus to the tray. You are about to coat it in the sauce so don’t be too fussy with your placing. In a little bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Shake or stir vigorously until all is well combined. Drizzle over the ingredients in the tray.

Step 3

Using your hands, coat all of the ingredients with the sauce as much as possible. Now evenly distribute the ingredients across the tray so everything bakes evenly.

Step 4

Place in your oven for 40 minutes, and then turn the oven up to 225 degrees celsius for just 5 minutes longer if you feel things need a little crisping up. Garnish with rocket and enjoy!
