1 packet
half chicken
2
potato
1 bunch
baby carrots
½ packet
prosciutto
1 bag
kale
1 bag
sage
1 packet
light cooking cream
½ packet
vegetable stock pot
1
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, heat 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 cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Transfer any chicken fat from the oven tray to a large frying pan (you'll use this in step 5!), then set roast chicken aside to rest.
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 large chunks. Cook in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add the milk, the salt and remaining butter. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
While the potato is cooking, trim the baby carrots and slice any thicker carrots in half lengthways. Slice the prosciutto (see ingredients) in half lengthways. Roughly chop the kale. Pick the sage leaves and thinly slice.
Place the carrots on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and add the prosciutto. Return to the oven and roast until the carrots are tender and prosciutto is crispy, 5-10 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, return the frying pan with the chicken fat to a medium-high heat. Cook the kale, stirring until softened, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Return the frying pan to a medium heat. Add the light cooking cream, vegetable stock pot (see ingredients), sage, any chicken resting juices and a generous pinch of pepper. Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Cut the roast chicken in half. Divide the mash and veggies between plates. Top with the chicken. Pour over the creamy sage sauce. Garnish with the crispy prosciutto to serve.
