Preparation
1
Roast the Potatoes

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

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, 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, 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through.

2
Prep Time

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for now.

Trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

3
Roast the Chicken

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Once hot, lay the chicken into the pan and cook until browned, 5 mins each side. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

When the potatoes have 12 mins remaining, lay the chicken onto a baking tray and roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle

When cooked, remove from your oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins.

4
Make your Cajun Sauce

While the chicken bakes, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.

Add the garlic and Cajun spice mix. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.

Stir in the creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 2-3 mins.

5
Finishing Touches

Once the sauce has thickened, season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

When everything's ready, toss the baby leaves and carrot ribbons through the salad dressing. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.

6
Serve Up

Share the chicken between your plates. Serve the roasted potatoes and salad alongside. 

Spoon the creamy Cajun sauce over the chicken to finish.
