Preparation
1
Bake the pumpkin wedges

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the butternut pumpkin into 1cm wedges. Place the pumpkin and garlic and herb seasoning on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper and toss. Spread in a single layer and roast, on the top shelf of the oven, until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Peel the pumpkin skin if you prefer!

2
Get prepped

While the pumpkin is baking,combine the panko breadcrumbs, a generous drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.

3
Prep the hasselback chicken

Cut deep slices, taking care to not slice all the way through, across the chicken breast at 1cm intervals. Place the chicken, cut-side up, on a second oven tray lined with baking paper and spoon in the basil pesto. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cover the chicken with the pangrattato, gently pressing down to form an even coating.

4
Bake the hasselback chicken

Place the chicken on a second oven tray lined with baking paper. Place on the lower shelf and bake the chicken until cooked through, 12-16 minutes (depending on the size of the fillet). TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside. TIP: Use two oven trays if necessary.

5
Make the salad

Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes. In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar, honey, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the mixed salad leaves and cherry tomatoes. Toss.

6
Finish & serve

Divide the pesto hasselback chicken between plates. Serve with the pumpkin wedges and garden salad. Serve with mayo. Enjoy!
