Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1.3kg waxy potato such as Desirée, cut into large chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
3large skinless boneless chicken breast fillets , each sliced into 6-8 pieces
50g SunBlush tomato or sun-dried tomatoes (drained really well)
50g black olive
4 rosemary sprigs
1 lemon , grated zest and juice
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
a couple of handfuls of watercress

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes on to cook in a pan of lightly salted boiling water. When they have been simmering for about 10 minutes, start to cook the chicken.
  • Measure 2 teaspoons of the olive oil into a large frying pan or wok. Heat it, then add the chicken pieces but don't stir them immediately - just let them sear for a few seconds over a high heat so they get nice and brown. Now turn them over and sear on the other side. Turn the heat down and cook for a few more minutes until golden.
  • Add the tomatoes, olives and rosemary sprigs to the pan with the chicken. Stir everything together well and cook gently for a couple of minutes. Season the mixture with black pepper.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing the rest of the olive oil together with the lemon zest, lemon juice and mustard. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Strew the watercress over 4 serving plates. Drain the potatoes then spoon them over the watercress. Crush each potato lightly with a fork. Share out the chicken mixture, piling it on top of the potatoes, then drizzle the lot with the olive oil and lemon dressing.
