Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Chop the sweet potato into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel).
- Pop the wedges onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil then season Middle Eastern spice, salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer and roast on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.
2
Cut the broccoli into florets (like small trees). Halve any large florets. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).
3
- Place one hand on top of the chicken. Slice through horizontally to make two steaks. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once pan is hot, add chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry until cooked through, 3-6 mins each side.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is due to vacuum packing used to keep it fresh and is normal. It will still be delicious once cooked!
4
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Spread harissa paste over the top of each chicken steak using the back of a spoon.
- Cover with foil and leave to the side to rest.
5
- Return the pan to high heat (add a drizzle of oil if the pan is dry).
- Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the broccoli and fry for 2-3 mins. Stir in the garlic, turn the heat down to medium and cook for 1 min. Then add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Allow to cook until the broccoli is tender, 4-5 mins.
6
- Serve the chicken on plates with the sweet potato wedges and garlicky broccoli alongside.
- Drizzle over any juices from the foil.
- Finish with a sprinkle of parsley.
