Ingredients

Orange sweet potato (kumara)

500 g, (cut into 1cm cubes)

Skinless chicken breast

450 g, (buy 500g), fat trimmed

Canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 400g can

Maple syrup

1 tbs

Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Lightly spray a baking tray with oil. Place sweet potato on tray and lightly spray with oil. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned and tender.
  2. Meanwhile, carefully place the chicken in a medium saucepan of boiling water. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 8–10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Drain chicken and cool. Shred chicken.
  3. Combine chicken in a large bowl with chickpeas, syrup, oil, vinegar and sesame seeds. Add the baked sweet potato, capsicum and onion and toss gently to combine. Place rocket on plates or a serving platter and top with chicken salad.

To toast the sesame seeds, place them on a baking tray and bake in the oven with the sweet potato for 3 minutes or until light golden.
