Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES AND PENANG CHICKEN:

Peel the carrots and make ribbons by pulling a peeler the full length along the carrot rotating after each peel. Place the carrot into a salad bowl. Cut the broccoli into small bite sized pieces. Remove the free-range chicken thighs from their packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice the thighs into 4 even pieces, place in a bowl with the Penang marinade and stir to coat well.
2. TO COOK THE VEGETABLES:

Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the broccoli and steamed kumara and cook for 4 –5 mins. Add the pineapple, season with salt and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Allow to cool for a few mins then add to the salad bowl with the carrot. Remove the mint leaves from their stalks, tear in half and add to the salad bowl. Just before serving pour in the nam jim dressing and toss to combine. BBQ method: Heat the flat top of a BBQ once hot spray with oil and cook the kumara and broccoli for 4-5 mins. Add the pineapple and cook for a further 2-3 mins.
3. TO COOK THE CHARRED PENANG CHICKEN:

Wipe out the pan, respray with oil and place back over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 mins on each side or until charred and cooked through – adjusting the heat if necessary to not burn the marinade. BBQ method: Grill the chicken pieces on the grill side of a BBQ for 4-5 mins on each side until charred and cooked through.
TO SERVE:
