Instructions

Get Prepped
1

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

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins. 

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the courgette and slice into 1cm thick rounds. 

Roast the Chicken
2

Lay the chicken thighs on a large baking tray and season with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle over the roasted spice and herb blend, drizzle with oil and rub it over the chicken. When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until browned and cooked through, 16-18 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Time for the Beans
3

Once the onion has caramelised, add the garlic and fry for another 30 secs.

Next, stir in the butter beans (including the liquid), miso paste and the sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 mins. 

Once thickened, stir in half the chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

Season with pepper, then remove from the heat and cover to keep warm. 

Char the Courgette
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

When hot, add the cand cook until charred, 3-4 mins each side. Cook in batches if necessary.

Once cooked, season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat.

Glaze the Chicken
5

Once the chicken is ready, drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount) and turn so the chicken is nicely coated. 

Transfer to a board and thinly slice widthways into 2cm thick slices.

Serve
6

Reheat the beans if needed, adding a splash more water if it needs loosening.

Spoon the beans into your serving bowls, then lay on the charred courgette and drizzle over the pesto.

Top with the sliced chicken and sprinkle over any remaining chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

Add a handful of rocket on top, then drizzle a little olive oil over the leaves to finish. 

Enjoy!
