Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons.
• Trim and halve asparagus.
• Finely chop garlic.
• Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and the remaining butter.
• Cook carrot and asparagus tossing occasionally, until just tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate to rest.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Return frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook the cracked black pepper and remaining garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Reduce heat to low. Add a dash of water, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Add light cooking cream and stock concentrate. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add any chicken resting juices. Season to taste. Remove from heat.
• Slice chicken.
• Divide golden chicken, sweet potato mash and veggies between plates. Spoon creamy pepper sauce over chicken and sprinkle flaked almonds over veggies to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the flaked almonds on top!
