Instructions

Get Started
1

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

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

Pop the potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, 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.

Time to Roast
2

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve, then dry thoroughly with kitchen paper.

Spread the chickpeas onto one half of the baking tray.

Roast the chickpeas on the middle shelf of your oven until crispy, 16-18 mins.

Get Dressed
3

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Halve the ciabatta and tear into roughly 2cm chunks. Spread the garlic over the chunks.

When the chickpeas are halfway through roasting, carefully remove from the oven and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Pop the garlicky croutons onto the other half of the tray and return to the oven to bake for the remaining time until golden, 8-10 mins.

Keen Bean
4

While everything roasts, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Boil a half-full kettle.

Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.

Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 

Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt and heat on high.

Bring it back to the boil, then add the beans and cook until just tender, 4-6 mins.

Dress to Impress
5

Meanwhile, quarter the lemon into wedges, trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear it into bite-sized pieces.

In a large salad bowl, combine the mayo, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount), half of the cheese and a good squeeze of lemon from a lemon wedge. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Season with salt and pepper. When the beans are cooked, drain in a colander and toss through the dressing.

Finish
6

When everything's ready, add the chicken, potatoes, croutons, chickpeas and baby gem to the salad bowl. Toss all together until evenly coated in the dressing. 

Share your salad between your serving bowls. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish. 

Enjoy!
