Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water.
  • Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm. 
Cook the Chicken
2
  • Place a hand flat on top of the chicken. Slice from thick end to thin point until there's 2cm left. Open it up like a book. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Place a large pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Lay the chicken into the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until cooked through, 3-6 mins each side. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

Roast the Carrots
3
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
  • Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
  • Pop the carrots onto a separate 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 middle shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
Simmer the Sauce
4
  • Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When the pan is hot, add the shallot and cook until soft, 3-4 mins.
  • Stir in the black pepper, stock and garlic.
  • Cook, stirring, until everything is combined and the sauce is nice and smooth, 3-5 mins.
  • Stir in the creme fraiche, then remove the pan from the heat.
Slice the Chicken
5
  • When everything's ready, cut the chicken widthways into 2cm thick slices.
  • Toss the carrots together with the honey.
Dish Up
6
  • Share the sliced chicken between your plates.
  • Spoon over the peppercorn sauce (reheat first if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick).
  • Serve the mash and carrots alongside.
