Preparation
1
Roast the Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Fry 3-5 mins on each side.
  • Pop onto a lined baking tray. Cook on top shelf of oven, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is due to packaging used to keep it fresh.

2
Cook the Potatoes

  • Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into quarters.
  • When boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until fork tender, 15-20 mins.
  • When 1 min of cooking time remains add the spinach to the water with the potatoes to allow to wilt.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

3
Season the Spinach

  • Once potatoes and spinach are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
  • Season the spinach and potatoes with saltpepper and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p).
  • Mix carefully to combine.
  • Cover to keep warm.

4
Prep the Veg

  • Meanwhile, halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed and finely chop half (double for 4p).
  • Finely chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • When 5 mins of cooking time remain for the chicken, return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.

5
Simmer the Sauce

  • When the pan is hot, fry the chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice) and garlic until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Add 75ml water (double for 4p) and the stock.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 mins.
  • Stir the creme fraiche into the pan along with half the chives.
  • Season to taste with pepper then remove the pan from the heat.

TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.

6
Garnish and Serve

  • Divide the spinach and potatoes between plates.
  • Thinly slice the chicken and serve alongside.
  • Spoon the chilli chive sauce over the top.
  • Finish with a sprinkling of remaining chives.
