1 packet
half chicken
2
potato
1 bunch
asparagus
½ packet
prosciutto
1 bunch
silverbeet
1 bunch
sage
1 packet
thickened cream
½ tub
chicken stock pot
olive oil
40 g
butter
2 tbs
milk
¼ tsp
salt
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. In a large frying pan, add a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the half chicken until browned, 4-5 minutes each side. Transfer to a lined oven tray and top with 1/2 the butter. Roast until golden and cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Set aside to rest. Set aside the frying pan with the chicken fat for step 5. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is roasting, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and cut into bite-sized chunks. Cook the potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the milk, the salt and remaining butter to the potato. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
While the potato is cooking, trim the ends of the asparagus (about 3cm). Slice the prosciutto (see ingredients) in half lengthways. Roughly chop the silverbeet. Pick the sage leaves and thinly slice.
Place the asparagus on a second lined oven tray and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer and roast for 5 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and add the prosciutto. Roast until the asparagus is tender and prosciutto is crispy, 5-10 minutes.
When the chicken is resting, return the large frying pan with the chicken fat to a medium-high heat. Cook the silverbeet, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Return the frying pan to a medium heat and add the thickened cream, chicken stock pot (see ingredients), sage, any chicken resting juices and a generous pinch of pepper. Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Cut the chicken in half. Divide the mash, veggies and chicken between plates. Pour over the creamy sage sauce. Top with the crispy prosciutto to serve.
