Cooking Steps
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).
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.
Lay the chicken into an appropriately-sized ovenproof dish, drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the mixed herbs and season with salt and pepper.
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.
In a small bowl, combine the marinara sauce and honey (see pantry for amount).
Grate the cheese.
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.
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.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad to finish.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The marinara sauce and melted cheese combination is a highlight, with the dish drawing comparisons to pizza-style chicken; some find the tomato sauce a little sharp or salty, so adding extra cheese or a touch more honey can help balance it.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to put together, living up to its fuss-free billing; the main hands-on task is chopping the chips before everything goes into the oven.
- Suggestions: Cook the chips in an air fryer for a more even, crispier result; if using the oven, keep a close eye on them as they can darken quickly and may need turning more than once. Some found the chips needed longer than the recipe states.
- Portions: Chicken breast sizes are frequently uneven, meaning one portion can be noticeably smaller than the other — flattening the larger breast slightly before cooking helps even out the cooking time and serving size.
