Ingredients

  • 140g Chicken Thigh
  • 130g gluten-free pasta
  • 80g red pepper
  • 80g spinach
  • 15g balsamic vinegar
  • 5g honey
  • 3g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the gluten-free pasta for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, and rinse briefly to stop it sticking.

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: gluten-free pasta first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
