Instructions

Prep the Veggies
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C. Chop the new potatoes into 2cm bite-sized pieces (no need to peel). Trim the stalky tops from the green beans. Pick the tarragon leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).

Roast the New Potatoes
2

Place the potatoes on a lined baking tray and drizzle over a little olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out evenly and roast on the top shelf of your oven until crispy, 20-25 mins.

Butterfly the Chicken
3

Lay a chicken breast on a chopping board, place your hand flat on top and slice into it from the side. Open it up like a book. This is called butterflying! Repeat with the remaining chicken. Lay the chicken between two sheets of clingfilm and bash it with a rolling pin or the base of a pan until it is 1cm thick. Don't forget to wash your hands afterwards!

Pan-Fry the Chicken
4

Bring a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt to the boil for the green beans. Heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken for 4-6 mins on each side, then remove the pan from the heat. TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.

Cook the Beans
5

Add the green beans to your pan of boiling water. Boil until tender, 4-5 mins. Once cooked, drain the beans in a colander and set aside.

Make the Sauce
6

Meanwhile, put the frying pan with your chicken in, back on medium heat. Add the crème fraîche, a splash of water and the Dijon mustard. Bubble gently until you have the consistency of double cream, then remove from the heat and stir in the tarragon. TIP: If you don’t like tarragon, add a little less! Serve the roasted new potatoes and the green beans with the chicken on top and a healthy spoonful of your tarragon sauce. Enjoy!
