Spicy Chicken and Chips
This British-style one-dish meal features chicken breasts prepared with a spicy paste and served with homemade chips. The potatoes are soaked in salt water before being seasoned and roasted. The dish is completed with peas and served with condiments. It requires about 70 minutes to prepare and serves two people.
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 chicken breasts
- frozen peas
- margarine
- cajun seasoning
- creole seasoning
- Worcestershire sauce
Method
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick chip shapes.
- Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of salt water, storing them somewhere cool if leaving them for an extended period.
- Combine half a tablespoon of margarine, half a tablespoon of creole seasoning and a small pour of Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl to form a paste.
- Make a pocket between the skin and meat of each chicken breast and insert roughly half the paste, massaging it to distribute evenly. Place the breasts in a clay casserole dish.
- Drain the potatoes and place them in a baking tray with oil, then sprinkle liberally with cajun seasoning.
- Place both trays into an oven set to around 200 degrees and cook for approximately 40 minutes.
- About 5 minutes before serving, boil the peas, drain them and add a knob of margarine. Serve the peas alongside the chicken and chips with ketchup and mayonnaise.
- For a milder version suitable for children, omit the seasoning from the chips and use less of the spice paste for the chicken.
