Cooking Instructions and Tips

Chop your Chips

1

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

Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).

Time to Bake

2

Pop the chips 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, bake on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Bake the Chicken

3

Meanwhile, lay the chicken into an appropriately-sized ovenproof dish, drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the mixed herbs and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

Roast the chicken on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Prep Time

4

While everything cooks, in a small bowl, combine the marinara sauce and honey (see pantry for amount).

Grate the cheese.

Halve the baby plum tomatoes.

Cheese Please

5

When the chicken has 5 mins left, pour over the marinara sauce and sprinkle the cheese on top.

Return to the oven for the remaining time until the sauce is piping hot and the cheese is melted.

Serve Up

6

Share the marinara chicken between your plates, spoon over any remaining sauce from the dish.

Serve with the chips and salad leaves on the side.

Scatter over the baby plum tomatoes and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad to finish.
