Instructions
1 Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, or until toasted. Finely chop and set aside.
2 Spray chicken with oil and add to the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes and turn. Brush the top with mustard and cook for a further 3 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside for 5 minutes to rest.

Instead of the canned baby beetroot, you could use roasted kumara.
