Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Chop potatoes into 2cm chunks. Trim the carrot. Slice into 1cm rounds.
- Pick half the rosemary leaves (double for 4p).
- Trim parsnip and halve lengthways. Cut into 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
- Pop potato, parsnip and carrot on a lined baking tray. Toss with salt, pepper, rosemary and a drizzle of oil. Roast on top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway.
TIP: Use two baking trays if needed.
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Zest and halve the lemon. Juice one half and cut the other half into thick wedges.
- Lay the chicken out on a board and place a hand flat on top. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, add the chicken steaks and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook through, 3-6 mins each side. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Once cooked, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Cook in batches if the pan is too crowded.
- Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary.
- Once hot, fry the onion until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Add honey, mustard, stock powder, 1 tbsp sugar and 50ml water (double both for 4p) to the pan.
- Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 mins.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and cook, ensuring to coat well in the sauce.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
- Divide the salad leaves and roast veg between plates.
- Top with the chicken.
- Drizzle over the lemony sauce from the pan.
- Serve the lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
