Cooking Steps

Roast the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Halve the potatoes, quartering larger pieces, and pop onto a lined baking tray. 
  • Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Rub the oil over the potatoes then spread out cut-side down on the baking tray.
  • Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.
Cook the Chicken
2
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Stir through the Ballymaloe relish and a splash of water.

NOTE: Adding bacon lardons? Add to the pan once the chicken has cooked for 2 mins.

Melt the Cheese
3
  • Halve the ciabattas lengthways.
  • Top the ciabatta base with chicken and scatter the cheese over the top. 
  • Pop the ciabatta bases and lids in the oven until the cheese is melted, 4-5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, chop the tomato into 2cm chunks.
  • Just before serving toss the tomatoes and salad leaves with a drizzle of oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Divide and Serve
4
  • Once toasted, pop the ciabatta lids onto the bases and slice the sandwich in half widthways. 
  • Serve with roast potatoes and tomato salad alongside.
