Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. • In the last 8-10 minutes of cook time, sprinkle diced bacon and Cheddar cheese over fries (you may need to break up the bacon with your hands!). Return to oven and bake until melted and golden.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • Thinly slice pear into wedges. • Thinly slice spring onion. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, garlic paste and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with pepper and set aside. • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce mix, sweet chilli sauce and a splash of water.

• When fries have 10 minutes remaining, in a second medium bowl, combine cornflour and the plain flour. Add chicken and toss to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken, then cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside!

• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat. • Return chicken, then add soy sauce mixture, tossing until well coated.

Set aside to rest for 1 minute. • In a large bowl, combine cucumber, pear, mixed salad leaves, garlic aioli and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
