    1 Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place diced pumpkin in a microwave-safe bowl with a dash of water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes on high. Drain the pumpkin and spread evenly onto an oven tray with oil and pepper. Place in the oven to cook until soft and golden.

    2 Preheat a non-stick frying pan on a high heat. Add the cumin seeds and fry for a minute before adding the chicken with a little spray oil. Cook for 5–10 minutes until the juices run clear.

    3 Combine pumpkin, chicken, mesclun, capsicum and carrots in a large bowl. Add the hummus and toss through salad ingredients. Top with crumbled feta and garnish with coriander, if desired.
