Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Trim the butternut squash, halve lengthways, then scoop out the seeds (peel first if you prefer). Cut into 1cm chunks.
Chop the potato into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
Pop the diced butternut and potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the mixed herbs, 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, roast on the middle shelf until golden and cooked through, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, trim the green beans. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, peri peri seasoning and olive oil for the crumb (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper.
Lay a chicken breast onto your chopping board, place your hand flat on top and slice into it from the side until there is 2cm left (be careful not to slice all the way through). Open it up like a book. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
Repeat with the other breast(s). You have butterflied your chicken!
Lay the open chicken breasts on a lightly oiled baking tray. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Spoon the mayo over the top of each butterflied breast. Sprinkle over the crumb mixture and press it down with a spoon (discard any leftover crumb).
Bake on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 15-20 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce and honey. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins. Stir in the garlic, then turn the heat down to medium and cook for 1 min.
Add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the beans are tender, 4-5 mins. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm.
Once everything's ready, transfer the crumbed chicken to your plates.
Pour over the hot honey sauce.
Serve the roasted butternut, potato and green beans alongside.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The peri peri seasoning and hot honey combination delivers a well-balanced sweet heat that many found genuinely satisfying. Some felt the butternut squash added extra sweetness, so adjust the hot honey quantity to taste.
- Ease of prep: Butterflying the chicken and preparing the butternut squash add time, so allow more than the estimated cooking time. Some found the overall prep fiddly, though the individual steps are straightforward once underway.
- Suggestions: Add an extra garlic clove to the green beans for more depth, and consider adding new potatoes or a leek to bulk out the vegetables. Pressing the crumb mixture down firmly helps it adhere, and extra hot honey sauce on the side is worth making if you enjoy a saucier finish.
- Next-day meals: Portions can feel modest, particularly the chicken, so consider supplementing with extra vegetables or potatoes if cooking for hungrier appetites.
- Crumb texture: The breadcrumb coating can turn soggy rather than crisp; spreading the chicken on a well-oiled tray and ensuring the oven is fully preheated before baking should help achieve a better result.
