Directions for warm chicken salad

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

3. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the pumpkin on the tray in a single layer.
4. Cook the pumpkin for about 30 minutes or until soft.
5. While the pumpkin is cooking, put the chicken fillets in a bowl, coat them with the extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and the ground rosemary.
6. Spray a large frying pan with some oil and when hot place the chicken fillets on it.
7. Cook chicken fillets over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes on each side or until completely cooked through. Place the cooked fillets on a plate, cover and set aside.
8. Dry toast pine nuts in a non-stick frypan, over medium heat until golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
9. Remove pumpkin from the oven and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
10. Place baby spinach on a large, shallow bowl.
11. Cut chicken in thin slices and place on the spinach.
12. Place chicken and pumpkin on top of the spinach, drizzle the balsamic vinegar and gently toss.
    Sprinkle pine nuts and serve immediately. The chicken and the pumpkin will still be warm on top of the spinach.
