Ingredients

500 g chicken breast, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder
to taste Salt and pepper
1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
200 g pumpkin, peeled and cubed
200 g eggplant, diced
fresh dill for garnish
1 lime, cut into wedges
Sliced avocado optional
Chopped cilantro optional

Equipment

Large skillet or frying pan
20 cm (8 inch) square baking tray
Chef's knife
Heatproof mixing bowl

Method

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the cubed pumpkin and diced eggplant on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken breast with smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken in the spices.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and lightly browned, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, assemble your bento box by placing lettuce leaves on one side. Spoon the smoky chili chicken onto the lettuce wraps and top with roasted pumpkin and eggplant.
Garnish with fresh dill and serve with a wedge of lime on the side.
Enjoy your vibrant and nutritious bento box!
