I love pomegranate seeds in meals and tonight was the first time I’ve cut one open and used the seeds in a meal and dessert.

I bought a Lilydale chicken yesterday and thought it would go nicely with a salad. After a light breakfast and lunch a roast dinner was in order, especially with My Kitchen Rules on television tonight. Tonight Ash and Camilla are cooking and so many people want to see them fail.
For breakfast I met Bron at U&Co Cafe in Kaleen
I had muesli with seasonal fruits
For lunch I had tomato on fried bread smeared with Persian feta

Ingredients
Lilydale Chicken for roasting
Panko bread crumbs
Crushed walnuts
Chili flakes
Quinoa
Potato gems
Fennel
Parsley
Red onion
Capers
Pomegranate
Lime juice
Instructions
Prepare the chicken with panko bread crumbs, crushed walnuts and chili flakes
Add the quinoa to the baking tray and add some water, this allows the quinoa to cook in the chicken juices
Put the chicken into the oven at 220 °C for 20 minutes and then turn down to 150 °C for 40 minutes
For the last 20 minutes add the potato gems on a separate tray
When the chicken comes out to rest turn the oven up to 220 °C and cook the gems until golden
Scoop the quinoa out of the tray with a slotted spoon and allow the fatty oily goodness to drain off leaving great tasting quinoa behind
Prepare the salad with the fennel, parsley, red onion, capers and pomegranate seeds
Add a little lime juice to the salad
Plate up the carved chicken, quinoa, potato gems and salad
