Cooking Steps

Prep the Potato
1

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Slice the potatoes into 1cm thick rounds (no need to peel). Pop the potato rounds onto a large baking tray.

Drizzle the potato rounds with oil, sprinkle over the dried rosemary and season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. 

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Fry the Cabbage and Apple
2

Meanwhile, quarter, core and thinly slice apple (no need to peel).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a saucepan on medium heat.

Add the cabbage and apple slices and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to soften, 3-4 mins.

Once softened, add the cider vinegar, Dijon mustard (add less if you’d prefer things milder), sugar and water for the cabbage (see pantry for both amounts) and season with salt and pepper.

Simmer Time
3

Reduce the heat and simmer until the cabbage is soft and the liquid has evaporated, 10-12 mins.

Once the liquid has evaporated, remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.

When there’s about 10 mins left for the potatoes and red cabbage, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. 

Fry the Steaks
4

Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper or cling film. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

Pop onto a board, then give it a bash with a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan until it’s 1-2cm thick. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. 

Once hot, lay in the chicken. Fry until golden brown, 5-6 mins each side. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a board, cover with foil and rest for a couple of mins.

Make the Redcurrant Glaze
5

While the chicken rests, return the frying pan to medium heat (no need to clean). 

Add the soy sauce, redcurrant jelly, balsamic glaze and water for the glaze (see pantry for amount) and bring to a simmer. Simmer until reduced and starting to thicken, 2-3 mins.

Once thickened, remove from the heat and vigorously stir in butter (see pantry for amount) until melted and combined, 1 min more.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything’s ready and the chicken has finished resting, slice thinly widthways.

Share the steaks, roast potatoes and apple and red cabbage between your serving plates.

Spoon the glaze over the chicken to finish.
