Cooking Steps

Roast the potatoes
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. 
• Boil the kettle. 
• Cut potato into wedges.
• Place wedges on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive 
oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

Prep the chicken
2

• Season chicken thigh with salt and pepper.

Cook the chicken
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
• Cook chicken thigh, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes.


TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

Make the salsa verde
4

• While the pork is cooking, zest lemon to get a 
generous pinch, then slice into wedges. 
• Finely chop parsley and capers.
• In a medium bowl, combine parsley, capers, a pinch 
of chilli flakes (if using), a good squeeze of lemon 
juice, a generous pinch of salt and sugar and the 
olive oil (1 tbsp per person). 

Bake the ciabatta
5

• When the wedges have 10 minutes remaining,  
slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half lengthways.
• Place ciabatta directly on wire racks in oven and 
bake until heated through, 5 minutes. 

Finish & serve
6

• Thinly chicken.
• To the tray with wedges, add lemon zest and season 
to taste with pepper, tossing to coat.
• Spread each ciabatta base with the mayonnaise. 
Top with rocket leaves and chicken, then drizzle with salsa verde.
• Serve with lemon pepper wedges and any remaining 
lemon wedges. Enjoy!
