Cooking Instructions and Tips

Roast the Butternut
1

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

Trim the butternut squash, halve lengthways, then scoop out the seeds (peel first if you prefer). Cut widthways into 1cm slices.

Place the butternut slices onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil and the honey (see pantry), season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

Roast on the middle shelf until tender, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through cooking. 

Cook the Chicken
2

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, carefully add the chicken to the pan and sear for 5 mins on each side. Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to a lightly oiled baking tray. Keep the pan for later (no need to clean).

Roast the chicken on the top shelf of the oven until fully cooked, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's when no longer pink in the middle.

Prep
3

Chop the bacon rashers widthways into 1cm wide strips (use scissors if easier). IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.

Fry the Veg
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the kale along with the water (see pantry), cover with a lid and cook until wilted, 5-6 mins.

Season with salt and pepper.

Make the Sauce
5

Meanwhile, place the frying pan used for the chicken back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the bacon and fry until crispy, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook bacon thoroughly.

Remove the bacon and set aside. Wipe the pan clean.

Place the pan back on medium-low heat, add the cream cheese, mixed herbs and water (see pantry). Stir to combine and warm through, 1-2 mins. Season the sauce with pepper and stir through the bacon, 1 min.

Serve
6

Slice the chicken widthways into 1cm thick slices and fan out onto the plates.

Serve with the honey roasted butternut squash and kale.

Pour the creamy bacon sauce over the chicken.
