Bursting with colour, warmth, and vibrant flavour, Jodie’s Jubilee is a joyful celebration of fresh vegetables and tender BBQ chicken. Sliced eggplant, zucchini, and squash are gently sautéed with ginger and chilli, releasing bold, aromatic notes. Cherry tomatoes melt into a light, tangy sauce, while a touch of honey adds a delicate caramelised sweetness that ties it all together. Served alongside juicy, shredded BBQ chicken, this dish strikes a perfect balance between comfort and nourishment — a wholesome, flavour-packed meal that feels both homestyle and special.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini sliced
- 1 eggplant sliced
- 1 squash sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- inch piece of ginger minced
- 1 small chilli finely chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 pre-cooked BBQ chicken into pieces
Method:
- Start by cutting the eggplant into slices, as it takes a little longer to cook. Slice the zucchini and squash into even pieces. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Toss in the eggplant first, allowing it to soften slightly before adding the zucchini and squash. Stir in the minced ginger and chopped chilli. Cover and let soften.
- Once the vegetables have started to cook down. Let them infuse their flavours for a minute before adding the cherry tomatoes. The tomatoes will break down slightly, creating a light sauce that ties everything together.
- Drizzle honey over the mixture, stirring well to coat the vegetables evenly. Allow the honey to caramelise slightly, enhancing the sweetness of the dish.
- While the vegetables finish cooking, prepare the pre-cooked BBQ chicken by shredding it into bite-sized pieces. Serve the vegetable mix alongside the chicken for a balanced, nutritious meal.
