Instructions

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

Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper or cling film. Place on a board, then bash with the bottom of a saucepan until the chicken is 1-2cm thick.

Place the chicken onto one half of a large, lightly oiled baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Top with the chorizo, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.

Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden and cooked through, 15-20 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It’s cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Quarter the tomatoes, then halve widthways. Grate the Cheddar cheese. Trim the green beans.

When the chicken has 8-10 mins remaining, remove the tray from the oven and add the green beans. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with oil and turn to coat.

Roast the green beans and chicken on the top shelf for the remaining 8-10 mins.

If you’d prefer to, when the chicken has 4-6 mins remaining, boil your green beans until tender, 4-6 mins. Season with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, add the pea shoots, tomatoes and olive oil for the dressing (2p: 1 tbsp / 4p: 2 tbsp). Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Place a small saucepan on medium heat (no oil).

Add the creme fraiche, Cheddar cheese and water (2p: 1 tbsp / 4p: 2 tbsp), stir to combine and melt the cheese, 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
