Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Drizzle the chicken with a little olive oil and season well with the Simple Truth Chicken Spice Rub, salt and pepper.

3. Place the chicken in a roasting tray and roast in the oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. (As a top tip, this can be done in the air fryer too, if you’re pressed for time.)

4. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

5. For the quinoa salad, mix the cooled quinoa, cranberries, basil pesto, parsley and mint together and season with salt, pepper and fresh lime juice.

6. Spoon the quinoa salad onto a platter and top with the roast chicken. 

7. Garnish with the grilled peaches and serve.

8. Can be served hot or cold.
