Seared Chicken & Creamy Bacon-Parsley Sauce

• Meanwhile, cut broccoli into small florets. • Thinly slice carrot into rounds. • Finely chop garlic. • Roughly chop parsley leaves.

• Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Season both sides with salt and pepper. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

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

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook broccoli and carrot with a splash of water, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to low. Add light cooking cream, parsley, chicken-style stock powder (see ingredients) and any chicken resting juices. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat.

TIP: If you'd prefer a thinner sauce, add more water, 1 tsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
