Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.
Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
Mix together the apple and sage jelly and water for the glaze (see ingredients for amount) in a small bowl, then set your glaze aside.

Cook the Chicken
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, lay the chicken into the pan, skin-side, down. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until the skin is golden, 5-6 mins, then turn and cook for 1 min on the other side.
Transfer the chicken to a baking tray (skin-side up), then roast on the top shelf of your oven for 13 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Make the Creamy Lentils
3

While the chicken roasts, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the courgette and shallot to the pan. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 6-7 mins.
Stir in the lentils, water for the lentils (see ingredients for amount) and chicken stock paste until combined, then mix in the creme fraiche.
Bring to the boil, then simmer until the lentils are piping hot, 2 mins. Remove from the heat.

Time to Glaze
4

When the chicken has roasted for 13 mins, remove from the oven and spread the apple and sage glaze over the skin of each breast.
Return the chicken to the oven to roast until cooked through, 5-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Finish Up
5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove from your oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins.
Meanwhile, taste the lentils and season with salt and pepper if needed. Reheat gently if necessary.

Serve
6

When ready to serve, cut the chicken widthways into 2cm thick slices.
Share the creamy lentils between your bowls and top with the sliced chicken, spooning over any remaining glaze from the tray.
Finish with a sprinkle of walnuts over the top. Enjoy!
