Chicken and potato is a classic combo and our version is taken to the next level. Fresh lemon is used to flavour the chicken and broccoli while the leek sauce provides a rich and creamy contrast. Served with golden roasted potatoes, this is definitely a meal to remember.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lemon, zested
- 600g free range chicken breasts, cut into 4 pieces
- 3 Tbsp plain flour
- 1 drizzle of oil
- 1 pack lemon pepper seasoning
Roasties
- 800g potatoes, diced 3cm
- 1 drizzle of oil
Creamy Leek
- 1 leek, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 300g cream
Broccoli
- 1 broccoli, cut into small florets
- 1 carrot, peeled into ribbons
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake). Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil.
-
Dice potatoes. Spread in a single layer on 1-2 lined oven trays and toss with oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden and tender. Swap trays halfway through cook time to ensure even cooking.
-
Thinly slice leek and zest and juice lemon. Set lemon juice aside. Pat chicken dry and cut into 4-5 pieces. Toss chicken in a medium bowl with lemon pepper seasoning, flour and lemon zest.
-
Heat oil in a large frypan on medium-high heat. Shake off excess flour (reserving leftover flour) and cook chicken for 3-5 minutes each side, until nearly cooked through. Set aside, covered to keep warm.
-
Return pan to medium heat and cook butter and leek for about 6 minutes, until softened. Add reserved flour and cook for about 30 seconds. Add stock, mustard and salt, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add cream and cook a further 2 minutes, until thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Add cooked chicken to pan with leek on medium heat. Turn chicken a few times to coat in sauce and cook a further 1–2 minutes, until chicken is warmed through.
-
Cut broccoli into small florets and peel carrot into ribbons. Cook in pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and toss with lemon juice.
