Instructions

Cook the Chicken
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a full kettle.

Lay the chicken onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

When the oven is hot, roast the chicken on the top shelf until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Meanwhile, peel and chop the sweet and white potatoes into 2cm chunks.

Potato Time
2

Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ½ tsp salt and bring back to the boil.

Once boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

While the potatoes cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium heat. 

Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion.

Get Frying
3

Once the oil is hot, add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 8-10 mins. 

Add the balsamic vinegar and a pinch of sugar (if you have any) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back into the pan, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, then cover with a lid to keep warm. 

Bring on the Broccoli
4

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water with ½ tsp salt to the boil. Cut the Tenderstem® broccoli into thirds.

When your pan of water is boiling, add the broccoli and cook until just tender, 3-5 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander, then return to the pan. Drizzle with a little oil and season with salt and pepper.

Make the Red Onion Gravy
5

While the broccoli cooks, add the water for the gravy (see pantry for amount) and red wine stock paste to the onion pan.

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until reduced, 5-6 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.

Serve
6

When everything's ready, share a generous helping of sweet potato mash between your plates and top with the chicken.

Spoon over the red onion gravy and serve the broccoli alongside.
