•Pan with Lid
Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Pop the chunks onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
2
- Meanwhile, place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Cut the broccoli into florets (like small trees). Halve any large florets.
- Once hot, add the broccoli and fry for 2-3 mins.
- Add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the broccoli is tender, 4-5 mins.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper then remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
3
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Pick the thyme leaves from their stalks.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, lay the Serrano ham into the pan and fry until crisp, 2-3 mins each side. Once crispy, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. Set aside.
4
- Surround the chicken in cling film. Bash with a pan until 2cm thick. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry chicken until cooked through, 5-6 mins each side.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to vacuum packing used to keep it fresh.
5
- Transfer the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm then return the pan to medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook until browned, 4-5 mins.
- Pour in creme fraiche and 100ml water (double for 4p) and bring to the boil.
- Simmer until the sauce has thickened, 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if it thickens too much.
6
- When everything is ready, plate up each chicken breast.
- Serve the broccoli and roast potatoes alongside.
- Stir the truffle oil into the mushroom sauce, then spoon it over the chicken.
- Finish by topping with Serrano ham crisp.
