Every now and then it’s nice to go back to basics. They always carry a sense of nostalgia with them. Allow all the memories of cosy family dinners to flow in when you bite into this tender glazed chicken, seasoned with fresh herbs, served up with a potato mash and veggies.
1 sachet
Thyme
1
Broccoli
2 packet
Potato
1
Carrot
2
Garlic
1
Lemon
640 g
Herby Marinated Chicken Thigh
1 drizzle
olive oil
40 g
butter (for the mash)
(Contains: Milk)
2 tbs
milk
(Contains: Milk)
2 tsp
honey
10 g
butter (for the sauce)
(Contains: Milk)

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel potato, then cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. • Drain potato, then return to pan. Add butter (for the mash) and the milk to the potato. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm. Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!

• While the potato is cooking, zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Pick thyme leaves. Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop silverbeet. Cut carrot into thin sticks.

• Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the lemon zest.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot with a pinch of salt and pepper, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add silverbeet and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. TIP: Add a splash of water to the veggies to help them cook faster!

• Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to low, then add butter(for the sauce), garlic and thyme, tossing until fragrant. • Remove pan from heat, then add the honey, lemon zest and a generous squeeze of lemon juice, tossing chicken to coat. TIP: Add a splash more water if the sauce looks too thick. TIP: Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.

• Divide potato mash, sautéed veggies and saucy lemon and herb chicken between plates. • Spoon over any remaining lemon-herb sauce to serve. Enjoy!
