Instructions
1
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (unpeeled).
- Pop onto a large (lined) baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle on the Central American spice mix and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat and spread out in a single layer. Once the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary—you want the potatoes well spaced out.
2
- Place your 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.
- Add the chicken to a bowl with a drizzle of oil and half the chipotle paste.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix to coat and leave aside to marinate.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to vacuum packing we use to keep it fresh.
3
- Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining chipotle paste with the creme fraiche.
4
- 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.
- Fry until cooked through, 3-6 mins on each side (cook in batches if the pan is getting crowded). IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- When cooked, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
5
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil (no need to wash out the pan).
- When the oil is hot, fry the pepper and onion until softened and slightly charred, 6-8 mins.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper then remove the pan from the heat.
6
- Toss the peppers, onions and spiced potatoes together.
- Serve the smoky chipotle chicken alongside with a dollop of chipotle creme fraiche.
- Finish with a sprinkling of chopped coriander.
