Instructions

Cook the Sweet Potato
1

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

b) Trim the sweet potato (no need to peel), then slice into 0.5cm thick rounds.

c) Place the rounds on a large, lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

d) Roast on the middle shelf of your oven until golden, 20-22 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

Prep Time
2

a) Meanwhile, drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

b) Zest and cut the lemon into wedges. Juice half the wedges into a large bowl.

c) Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed, then finely chop (prepare less if you prefer things milder).

d) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Make the Citrus Dressing
3

a) Add to the lemon juice the garlic, garlic, chilli, coriander and a pinch of lemon zest, along with the sugar and olive oil (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine.

b) Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces. Crumble the Greek style salad cheese into small pieces.

c) Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper or cling film.
 
Bread the Chicken
4

a) Pop the chicken onto a board, then give it a bash with a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan until it’s 1-2cm thick. 

b) Combine in a medium bowl the flour (see pantry for amount) and Central American style spice blend. Lay your chicken breast in the bowl of spiced flour, then toss to ensure the chicken gets an even coating of flour. Repeat for the other breast. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Cook the Chicken
5

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

b) Lay the chicken into the frying pan. Cook until browned, 3-4 mins each side. Then pop onto a plate and set aside until the sweet potato has 10 mins remaining in the oven.

c) When the sweet potato has 10 mins remaining, add the chicken to the same baking tray and bake until cooked through, 10 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

d) Once the chicken is cooked, cut into 1cm wide slices. 

Finish and Serve
6

a) While the chicken roasts, return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the sweetcorn and cook until charred, 5-6 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary. Stir only twice during this time - you want the sweetcorn to be lightly charred.

b) Add the sweetcorn, lettuce, half the cheese and half the sweet potato to the bowl of dressing and toss to coat. Divide the dressed salad between 2 serving bowls. Place the remaining sweet potato in a line down the centre of the salad, then place the sliced chicken breast alongside the potato. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and serve with lemon wedges to finish.

 

Enjoy!
