A garlicky roasted half chook is the perfect match for a green olive sauce that's all the things: savoury, salty and a touch sweet! Serve with some moreish sides, and don't forget a sprinkle of pine nuts for some extra buttery flavour and crunch.

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Season half chicken with a good pinch of salt and pepper. • In a small bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken, skin-side down first, until browned, 4-5 minutes each side. • Transfer seared chicken to a lined oven tray. Brush with garlic-herb mixture. Roast until cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Cover and set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• When the chicken has 20 minutes remaining, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • Drain potato, then return to pan. Add the milk, grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 the butter. Season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
• While the potato is cooking, thinly slice pear. • Thinly slice red onion. • Roughly chop green olives, semi-dried tomatoes and parsley. • Finely chop garlic.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, olives and currants until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the honey, the red wine vinegar, the water, vegetable stock powder and remaining butter. Cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat. Stir through parsley.
TIP: Green olives have a strong flavour, use less if desired!
• Combine salad leaves, semi-dried tomatoes and pear in a medium bowl. • Just before serving, add Italian dressing. Toss to coat.
• Slice chicken in half. • Divide Sicilian-style roast chicken, Parmesan mash, and semi-dried tomato salad between plates. • Top chicken with green olive sauce and pine nuts to serve. Enjoy!
