1 packet

(May be present: Soy, Milk.)
1 packet

2 tbs

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Season the half chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, skin side down first, and cook until browned, 4-5 minutes each side. Transfer to a lined oven tray and roast until cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Set aside to rest.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

While the chicken is roasting, peel the potato and cut into large chunks. Cook in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add the butter and milk to the potato and season. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

While the potato is cooking, cut the carrot into thin sticks. Trim the green beans. Finely chop the brown onion and garlic. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the carrot and green beans until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season, transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

While the chicken is resting, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onion, sliced mushroom, bacon and remaining garlic. Cook, breaking up the bacon with a spoon, until the bacon is cooked and the mushroom is tender, 6-8 minutes.

Reduce the pan heat to low, then add the red wine jus and any chicken juices. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes.

Slice the chicken in half. Divide the mash and garlic veggies between plates. Top with the chicken then pour over the bacon red wine sauce to serve.
