Take the chunky roast vegetable mix and separate the root veggies from the softer veg. Place the potatoes and butternut in a microwave dish with ¼ cup of water. Steam for 8 minutes. Place in a large skillet and cook over the coals with some olive oil, rosemary and seasoning until golden brown, about 20 – 30 minutes.

Toss the softer veg in a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning, thread onto skewers and char over the grill until slightly tender.

For the cornbread, heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Mix the cornbread according to the package instructions by adding the butter, eggs and tin of cream style sweetcorn.

Place the batter into a baking tray (as per the packing instructions) or divide it between 3 individual cast iron skillets of 8-10 cm in size. Top with the grated cheddar.

Add the charred veggies and press lightly into the batter. Scatter with fresh rosemary, and sliced chillies. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Serve the chicken with slices of cornbread, roasted veg and a green salad.
