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 with 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
- Meanwhile, halve cherry tomatoes. Peel and grate garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim carrot then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
- Pop carrots onto a large (lined) baking tray. Drizzle with oil then season with Middle Eastern spice, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Spread out in a single layer. Roast until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
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.
- 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.
- Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- To a medium bowl add the red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p) and half the parsley. Season with salt and pepper, mix to combine and set aside.
5
- Return the pan to high heat (add a drizzle of oil if the pan is dry).
- Add the tomatoes and garlic and fry for 2-3 mins then remove from the heat.
- Add the roasted carrots to the pan along with the parsley dressing.
- Toss to coat.
6
- Serve the chicken on plates with the sweet potato wedges and parsley veg alongside.
- Drizzle over any juices from the foil.
- Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining parsley.
