Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
Trim the carrot, then slice into 1cm thick rounds (no need to peel).
Pop the potato and carrot onto a large (lined) baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. Roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

While the vegetables roast, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
Zest and halve the lemon. Juice half and cut the other half into 4 wedges (double for 4p). Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
When hot, add the chicken steaks and season with salt and pepper. Cook through, 3-6 mins each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Add the onion to the pan and fry until softened stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
Add the honey, mustard, stock, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 tbsp sugar and 50ml water (double both for 4p) to the onion. Cook, stirring, until the sauce slightly thickens, 2-3 mins and has coated the chicken well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the baby spinach and roast veg between plates. Top with the chicken steaks. Drizzle over the lemony-onion sauce.
