Water for the Sauce
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Bring a large saucepan of water with 1/2 tsp salt to the boil. Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).
When boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.
While the potatoes boil, add the chicken breasts to a bowl, sprinkle over the flour (see pantry for amount), season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, lay the chicken into the pan, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden, 5-6 mins, then turn and cook for 1 min on the other side.
Meanwhile, halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Transfer the chicken to one side of a baking tray, skin-side up. Pop the broccoli alongside, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast on the top shelf until cooked, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
While the chicken and broccoli roasts, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
When the chicken has 10 mins roasting time remaining, give the frying pan a quick wipe and return to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, stir in the garlic and fry until fragrant, 1 min.
Add the creme fraiche, sun-dried tomato paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) to the garlic. Stir together and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.
When the chicken has 2 mins remaining, add the peas to the same baking tray and toss with the broccoli. Return to the oven to heat through, 1-2 mins.
When the sauce has thickened, stir in half the fresh parsley and the hard Italian style cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Once cooked, cut the chicken widthways into 2cm thick slices.
Share the sliced chicken between your plates.
Serve the mash, broccoli and peas alongside.
Spoon the marry me sauce over the chicken and mash, then sprinkle over the remaining parsley to finish.
Enjoy!
