Ingredients
- 1½ cups fresh wholegrain breadcrumbs
- 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
- 2 jalapeno chillies, finely diced (optional)
- ¼ cup fresh coriander, chopped, plus extra to garnish
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 600g parsnips, peeled, cut into thick batons
- 4 carrots, angle-sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 4 medium chicken breasts
- 6 cups rocket
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 200°C and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2 In a bowl, place breadcrumbs, spring onion, chillies, coriander, lemon zest and half of the oil and mix until combined.
3 In another bowl, toss together parsnips, carrots, honey, mustard, cumin seeds and remaining oil.
4 On 1 tray, place chicken breasts. Cover with the crumb mix, pressing it down so it adheres properly. On the second tray, spread out veges. Bake chicken and veges for 25 minutes, turning veges occasionally to prevent burning.
