SERVES 2

Ingredients

2 skinless chicken breasts (about 150g/51/2oz each)

freshly ground black pepper

11/2 tbsp rapeseed oil

400g (14oz) sweet potato, skin-on, cut into chunks

160g (53/4oz) cauliflower, broken into florets

160g (53/4oz) green cabbage, shredded

160g (53/4oz) mangetout

1 tbsp reduced-salt gravy granules (optional)

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Place the chicken into a snug ovenproof dish and season with black pepper. Lightly oil a piece of baking parchment and lay it oil-side-down on top and tuck in around the chicken.

2 Coat the potato chunks in the remaining oil in another oven tray. Roast the chicken and the potatoes for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

3 Steam the cauliflower and cabbage for 5 minutes and the mangetout for the final 2–3 minutes. If using the gravy, make up with 100ml (3fl oz) of cooking juices and boiling water. Serve the chicken with vegetables and gravy.
