Roast Chicken Sunday Lunch with Asparagus and Peas


If you thought a Sunday roast took most of Sunday to prepare, here's a cheat's way to roast a chicken, crisped to perfection.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts (no skin on and butterflied)
  • Olive oil
  • 75ml chicken stock
  • 100ml red wine
  • 5g cornflour
  • pinch of sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • 150g asparagus
  • 100g fresh peas
  • 100g salted butter, softened
  • 30g sage, chopped
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 12 new potatoes, pre-boiled
  • 100g goose fat

Method

For the chicken

  1. Butterfly the chicken breasts and brush with a little olive oil, season well and griddle on either side for 3 minutes.

For the gravy

  1. Add the chicken stock and wine to a pan and bring vigorously to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the cornflower, add a pinch of sugar and season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring well until all is dissolved.

For the vegetables

  1. Fry off the onion in a little oil for a couple of minutes until softened.
  2. Blanch the asparagus and peas in boiling water for 4 minutes. In separate pan melt the butter until foaming. Add the asparagus and peas, chopped sage, seasoning and softened onion. Toss together in the pan for about 2 minutes.
  3. Melt the goose fat in a pan until it is really hot. Take the pre-cooked new potatoes and fry them until they are crispy on all sides.
