Utensils

•Baking Sheet with Baking Paper

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. Spread out in a single layer.
  • Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.
Get Prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
  • Pick the tarragon leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).
  • Take one egg (per 2P) and separate the yolk from the white (you can use the egg white later).

TIP: You'll be using the egg yolk raw, so use very fresh eggs to make the sauce.

Make the Sauce
3
  • Place a small pot over medium-high heat with 2 tbsp butter (per 2P). 
  • Add the shallot and cook for 2-3 mins.
  • Add the tarragon and cook for 2 mins more. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, make a dressing with half the vinegar and a drizzle of oil.
  • Just before serving toss the salad leaves with the dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper
Fry the Chicken
4
  • Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Slice through the chicken breasts to make thin steaks and with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Once hot, fry the chicken until browned, 3-6 mins each side.
  • Once cooked, transfer to a board and allow to rest.
Finishing Touches
5
  • Add the egg yolk, half a mustard sachet (per 2P) and remaining vinegar to the pot with the shallot.
  • Return the pot to low heat (as low as possible so as not to cook the egg yolk) and mix vigorously for 2-3 mins until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tbsp water (per 2P) and a good drizzle of oil.
  • Add a splash of water the sauce is too thick, you want a smooth sauce that coats the back of a spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve and Enjoy
6
  • Divide the potatoes and sliced chicken between plates.
  • Pour the tarragon sauce over the chicken.
  • Serve with salad alongside.
