1.Preheat a barbecue or char-grill on high. Brush capsicum with a little of the oil. Cook and turn for 8-10 minutes or until skin blisters and blackens. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic food wrap; stand for 5 minutes. Peel, then slice thickly.

2.Meanwhile, brush chicken, potato and pumpkin with a little of the remaining oil. Add chicken and vegetables to barbecue; cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked. Transfer to a heatproof plate. Cover with foil; rest for 5 minutes. Slice. Cook vegetables tor 4-5 minutes or until browned and tender.

3.Combine rocket, onion, capsicum, potato, pumpkin and chicken in a large bowl. Whisk remaining oil, parsley, zest, juice, anchovy and capers in a small bowl. Spoon rocket mixture onto plates. Top with chicken. Serve drizzled with Salsa Verde.

Use bought char-grilled capsicum. Try lamb or beef fillets instead of chicken. Baby racket leaves have a slightly peppery taste. You can use baby spinach or cos leaves instead.
