Preparation
1
Bake your Wedges

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Cut the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

2
Prep the Chicken

Zest and cut the lemon into wedges (see ingredients for amount). Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper or cling film.

Pop onto a board, then give them a bash with a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan until it’s 1-2cm thick. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the Cajun spice mix all over.

Crack the egg (see pantry for amount) into a medium bowl and whisk.

Put the breadcrumbs and lemon zest into another bowl. Season with the salt (see pantry for amount) and pepper.

3
Get Breading

Dip the chicken into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's completely coated. Transfer to a clean plate. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging and discard any excess egg.

Pop a large frying pan on high heat and add enough oil to completely coat the bottom of the pan. TIP: You want the oil to be hot so the chicken fries properly - heat for 2-3 mins before you add the chicken.

4
Cook the Chicken

Once hot, carefully lay the chicken into the pan, and fry until golden brown, 2-3 mins on each side. Adjust the heat if necessary.

Transfer the chicken to a baking tray and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

5
Make your Slaw

While the chicken bakes, trim and thinly slice the spring onion

Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board. Cut into 1cm chunks.

Pop the coleslaw mix, avocado and spring onion into a large bowl with half the mayonnaise (see pantry for amount).

Squeeze in a little lemon juice and add the olive oil for dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then mix together. Taste and season again if needed.

6
Serve Up

When everything's ready, slice the chicken into 2cm thick slices, then transfer the fried chicken to your plates. Serve the wedges and slaw alongside.

Add a dollop of the remaining mayo for dipping (see pantry for amount) and serve with any remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over.
