total timeIngredients
olive oil
4 sweet potato
40 g butter
2 carrot
2 bunches broccolini
½ sachet black peppercorns
4 chicken breast
grean beans
1 packet garlic paste
1 packet light cooking cream
1 sachet chicken-style stock powder
Directions
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel sweet potato and cut into large chunks. Cook sweet potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add the butter to sweet potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm. • Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Trim green beans. Crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin.
• Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Season both sides with salt. Set aside. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot and green beans with a splash of water, tossing, until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Add baby spinach leaves and half the garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-6 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate to rest. • Return frying pan to medium-low heat, with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook crushed peppercorns and remaining garlic paste, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of pan. • Add light cooking cream and chicken-style stock powder stirring to combine. Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Stir in any chicken resting juices and season to taste.
• Divide chicken, mashed sweet potato and garlicky veggies between plates. • Drizzle with creamy peppercorn sauce to serve. Enjoy!
