Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm chips (peeling optional).
- Pop the chips onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Drizzle toss with BBQ rub, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
- Mix 3 tbsp flour (double for 4p) and the Mexican spice in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sandwich the chicken between two pieces of baking paper or cling film.
- Bash with the bottom of a pot until it’s 1-2cm thick. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken.
- Toss the chicken in the flour to coat.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Once the oil is hot, lay the chicken into the pan.
- Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 5-6 mins each side. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan, cover and allow to rest.
TIP: Reserve the pan for later use.
- Meanwhile, boil a pot of salted water.
- Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds. Zest and juice the lime.
- Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook until just tender, 4-5 mins.
- Add the peas to the water and cook for 1 min more.
Drain in a sieve then return to the pot, off the heat. - Stir through the lime zest and a knob of butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
- Wipe and return the pan to medium heat.
- Add the honey, lime juice and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p) to the pan.
- Cook until thickened and sticky, 1-2 mins.
- Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and turn to coat in the glaze.
TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water to soften, 1 min.
- Cut the glazed chicken breast into 2cm thick slices, then share between plates.
- Serve the zesty veg and BBQ chips alongside.
- Serve with a dollop of mayo alongside for dipping.
