Instructions

Roast the Carrots
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water with 1/2 tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes.

Trim the carrots, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons, then pop onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer, pushing slightly to one side.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.

Boil the Potatoes
2

Meanwhile, chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).

When your pan of water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins. 

Get Frying
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Once hot, lay the chicken into the pan and cook until browned, 5 mins each side.

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

Once browned, lay the chicken on the other side of the carrot tray and roast on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

When cooked, remove from your oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins.

Make your Peppercorn Sauce
4

When the chicken has 5 mins remaining, wipe out your (now empty) frying pan and return to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. 

Once hot, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 secs, then stir in the cracked black pepper and cider vinegar. Allow the vinegar to evaporate, 30 secs.

Stir in the chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and allow it to reduce by about half, 2-3 mins.

Reduce the heat, then stir in the creme fraiche and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat.

Time to Mash
5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to 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.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything's ready, slice the chicken widthways into 2cm thick slices and share between your plates.

Spoon over the peppercorn sauce (reheat first if needed and add a splash of water if it's a little thick).

Serve the mash and carrots alongside.

Enjoy!
