Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • In the last 8-10 minutes of cook time, sprinkle diced bacon and Cheddar cheese over potato (you may need to break up the bacon with your hands!). Return to oven and bake until melted and golden.

• Meanwhile, cut apple into thin sticks. • Thinly slice spring onion. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, sweet soy seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper.

• When potato has 10 minutes remaining, to the bowl with the chicken, add cornflour. Toss to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour and cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. • Return chicken to the pan, then add sweet & sour sauce, the honey and sesame seeds, tossing, until well combined, 1 minute.
