Preparation
1
Roast the Chicken

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Add a drizzle of oil to a pan on high heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Fry it in the pan until golden, 3-4 mins. Turn over and cook for 1 min.
  • Put the chicken on a lined baking tray on the top shelf of your oven, cook for 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

2
Cook the Potatoes

  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • When boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until fork tender, 15-20 mins. Stir through the spinach at the last minute.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat. 

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

3
Prep the Veg

  • Meanwhile, halve, deseed and finely chop half the chilli (double for 4p).
  • Finely chop the chives (or use scissors).
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Return the pan to a medium heat (no need to wash it). Add a drizzle of oil if the pan is dry.

4
Start the Sauce

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

5
Season the Potatoes

  • When the chicken is almost cooked, gently reheat the sauce.
  • Season the spinach and potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p).
  • Mix carefully to combine.

TIP: If the sauce needs loosening add a splash of hot water.

6
Plate Up

  • Divide the spinach and potatoes between your plates.
  • Serve the chicken breast alongside.
  • Spoon the chilli and chive sauce all over.
  • Finish with a sprinkling of remaining chives.
