Cooking Steps
- Add squash, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) Middle Eastern Seasoning and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden brown, 20-22 min.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with remaining Middle Eastern Seasoning, then season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Sear until golden, 1-2 min per side.
- Transfer chicken to another parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread half the fig spread over chicken. Roast in the bottom of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 12-14 min.**
- While chicken is in the oven, heat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add almonds. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
- Cut cucumber in 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Add garlic, half the mayo (use all the mayo for 4 ppl) and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Add vinegar, remaining fig spread and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
- Once squash is tender, add squash, cucumbers and spinach to the bowl with dressing. Toss to combine.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide salad between plates.
- Sprinkle with almonds.
- Top with chicken, then drizzle with garlic sauce.
