    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 200C. Line a baking tray with paper. Arrange chicken breast (cut in half if very large) on tray, alongside capsicum and beans or asparagus. Roast for 15 minutes, then check chicken is cooked through — cook a little longer if needed. (You can do this ahead of time and use these ingredients cold).

    2 While chicken cooks, in a medium pot place buckwheat and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and cool.

    3 In a large bowl, combine dressing ingredients and whisk together. Add salad greens and radishes and toss well to coat leaves. Add radishes, buckwheat, capers, olives and chillies and mix to combine, then divide between plates.

    4 Slice or shred chicken. Divide between 2 plates along with roasted vegetables. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and baby basil, if using.
