We’re trying a plant-based diet. We’re pairing red wine<br />
with chicken. And we’re making good food, health and<br />
planet choices. And we’re finding it all jolly tasty!<br />
Spier Good Natured Organic Shiraz<br />
with Greek-style roast chicken salad<br />
If you were under the impression that<br />
red wine can’t play nice with poultry,<br />
the juicy Good Natured Organic<br />
Shiraz 2021 will make you reconsider.<br />
With intense mulberry and sweet<br />
spice leading to a soft, smooth finish,<br />
this certified organic Shiraz is the<br />
perfect partner to this Greek-inspired<br />
chicken salad ... crammed with<br />
roasted vegetables, feta and olives.<br />
The recipe serves four.<br />
You’ll need: 4 medium size chicken<br />
breasts, skin on (bones removed),<br />
olive oil for drizzling (plus extra),<br />
salt and pepper, 250g small mixed<br />
tomatoes (halved), 1 large red<br />
pepper (roughly chopped), about<br />
300g courgettes (sliced into bite-size<br />
chunks), 2 red onions (peeled and<br />
cut into wedges), 2 rounds of feta,<br />
sliced or kept whole, about half a cup<br />
of kalamata olives,a handful of fresh<br />
origanum leaves (or basil or mint), 1<br />
teaspoon dried origanum, some red<br />
wine vinegar, for drizzling (or fresh<br />
lemon juice), a handful of baby salad<br />
leaves (optional).<br />
To make: Preheat the oven to 200°C.<br />
On a large baking tray lined with<br />
baking paper, arrange the chicken<br />
skin side up next to the tomatoes,<br />
peppers, courgettes and red onions.<br />
Drizzle all over with olive oil, then<br />
season generously with salt and<br />
pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes<br />
until the chicken is just cooked<br />
through and the vegetables are<br />
slightly charred, then remove from<br />
the oven and leave to rest. Slice the<br />
chicken and get ready to plate.<br />
On a large platter, arrange the<br />
baby leaves, then top with the<br />
sliced chicken breast, the roasted<br />
vegetables, feta, olives and fresh<br />
origanum. Sprinkle with dried<br />
origanum, drizzle with more olive oil<br />
all over and add a touch of red wine<br />
vinegar, then serve at once (with<br />
some crusty bread on the side).<br />
