Method

    Preheat oven to 230°C. Combine the butter and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the butter mixture over the chicken and under the skin to coat. Place chicken and onion in a roasting pan. Roast for 30 mins. Arrange pear around chicken and roast for a further 10 mins or until chicken is golden and cooked through.

    Meanwhile, combine the quinoa and 2 cups (500ml) water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, for 10-12 mins or until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in the silverbeet.
  3. Step 3

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Add the quinoa mixture and mustard to the pan. Toss to combine. Divide among serving plates. Season. Top with chicken.
