Any good meal has to have the right trifecta of components. As you'll see here, we've provided you with the perfect example; savoury seasoned chicken, sweet potato mash and a cherry tomato salad. Oh and because we are extra sweet, we've added a sharp Parmesan sauce to tie it all together.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Make the mash
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Peel sweet potato and cut into bite-sized chunks. • Cook sweet potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add butter to sweet potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

Cook the chicken
2

• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
• Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • In the last minute of cook time, sprinkle savoury seasoning over the chicken, turning to coat. Transfer to a plate to rest.
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Make the sauce
3

• Wipe out frying pan then return to medium heat. Add light cooking cream and Parmesan cheese. • Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, then stir through a generous pinch of pepper.

Finish & serve
4

• Roughly chop tomato. In a large bowl, combine tomato, mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • Slice chicken. • Divide seared chicken, sweet potato mash and tomato salad between plates. • Spoon creamy Parmesan sauce over chicken and garnish with flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
