Cooking Steps

Roast the potato
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm wedges. Spread the wedges over two oven trays lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Cut the potato to the correct size so it cooks in the allocated time.

Add flavour to the chicken
2

While the wedges are roasting, finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Slice the lemon (see ingredients list) in half. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Place your hand flat on top of a chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Repeat with the remaining chicken, then add to the marinade and toss to coat. Set aside.

Make the yoghurt
3

When the wedges have 15 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest. TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

COOK THE CHICKEN
4

While the chicken is resting, finely chop the tomato. Grate the carrot (unpeeled).

MAKE THE GARDEN SALAD
5

In a medium bowl, add the Dijon mustard (see ingredients list), honey, a small squeeze of lemon juice and olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 4 tsp for 4 people). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the tomato, carrot and mixed salad leaves. Toss to coat. TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.

SERVE UP
6

Thinly slice the chicken. Divide the Portuguese-style chicken, potato wedges and garden salad between plates. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the salad. Serve with the garlic aioli.
