Instructions

Get Set for Adventure
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Soak the skewers in cold water (this will prevent them from burning).
Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel).
Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 3cm chunks, cutting 1 piece per skewer into a triangle - these will make the tops of your rocket ships.

Roast the Wedges
2

Pop the potato wedges onto a large baking tray.
Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper if you'd like, 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.

Marinade Time
3

While the wedges roast, combine the mango chutney and korma style paste in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper if you'd like, then mix together.
Cut the chicken breasts into 3cm chunks, then add to the bowl of marinade along with the chopped pepper pieces.
Mix to coat everything well. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Rocket Ship Workshop
4

Thread the chicken and pepper pieces onto the skewers (2 per person), alternating between the two. Top with the triangle pieces of pepper to turn them into rockets!
Transfer your skewers to a lightly oiled baking tray and discard any marinade left in the bowl.
Roast on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 15-20 mins. Turn halfway through. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Space Ranger Mission: It's almost time for blast off! Little space rangers can help thread the chicken and pepper onto the skewers to build the rocket ships.
Remember to wash everyone's hands once the skewers are assembled.

Mix the Dressing
5

Meanwhile, put the red wine vinegar in another bowl with the olive oil for the dressing (see ingredients for amount). Add a pinch of sugar if you'd like.
Season with salt and pepper if you'd like, then mix together.
Set your dressing aside until you're ready to serve.

Blast Off!
6

When everything is ready, add the pea shoots to the bowl of dressing and toss to coat.
Pop your 'rocket ship' skewers on plates with the wedges and salad alongside.
Serve with some mayonnaise (see ingredients for amount) on the side for dipping.
Enjoy!
