Instructions

Make the Mash
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
  • Add a knob of butter and a splash of water or milk. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Prep the Chicken
2
  • Meanwhile, place a hand flat on top of the chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
  • Repeat with the other breast(s).
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap the bacon slices around the chicken steaks.

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

Roast the Veg
3
  • Trim the carrot and halve lengthways. Cut into 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
  • On a lined baking tray toss with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
  • Roast on the middle shelf of the oven until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
  • Once cooked, toss the roasted carrots with the honey.
  • Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Fry the Chicken
4
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, lay in the chicken, with the bacon facing seam-side down.
  • Cook until golden brown and crispy, 4-8 mins on each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
  • Once cooked, transfer the chicken to an ovenproof dish. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Simmer the Sauce
5
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with the garlic and a drizzle of oil. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Add passata, stock powder, Worcester sauce and ¼ tsp sugar (double for 4p). Bring to the boil. 
  • Simmer until thickened, 4-6 mins. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken, then drain, tear and scatter the mozzarella over the top.
  • Bake the chicken on the top shelf of the oven until cheese is melted, 12-15 mins.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Share your bacon wrapped chicken between plates.
  • Serve creamy mash and honeyed carrots.
  • Spoon over any remaining sauce to finish.
