Nutrition
| 320 g | Chicken breast | |
| 130 g | Bacon | |
| 150 g | Broccolini | |
| 500 g | Potatoes | (baby) |
| 100 g | Parmesan | |
| 3 tbsp | Butter | |
| 10 g | Sage | |
| 2 tbsp | Mexican style spice |
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9. Halve the potatoes lengthways (quarter any larger chunks) and add to a lined baking tray. Toss with spice mix, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
- Pick the sage leaves. Lay the chicken on a board. Place one hand flat on top. Butterfly the chicken by slicing horizontally until there's 2cm left (don't cut all the way through). Open it up like a book.
- Drizzle the chicken with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Divide the cheese between the chicken breasts, pressing down firmly so it adheres. Carefully roll the chicken up, encasing the filling. Wrap the bacon tightly around the chicken. Set aside.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the broccolini and season with salt and pepper. Fry for 2-3 mins then add a splash of water and cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the broccolini is tender, 4-5 mins. Once cooked, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken, seam-side down. Fry until golden brown, 4-5 mins each side. Add a splash of water, cover and cook for 8-10 mins. Move the chicken to one side of the pan. Add 3 tbsp butter (double for 4p). Allow to melt. Fry the sage in the butter until crispy, 2-3 mins. Baste the chicken in the butter.
- Plate up your cheesy chicken. Serve the roast potatoes and pan-fried broccolini alongside. Drizzle the chicken with any sage butter remaining in the pan.
