2 Meals: Creamy Chicken with Potatoes & Chicken & Pea Tortiglioni

Meal 1:

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil a full kettle, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Add your potatoes to a baking tray and prick them a few times with a sharp knife, add a drizzle of olive oil and put the tray in the oven for 45 min or until cooked through

Peel and slice your shallot[s]

Crush your garlic open by squashing them with the side of a knife and discard the skins

Heat a large, wide-based hob-safe oven-proof casserole dish with a matching lid with a generous drizzle of olive oil over high heat

Note: Make sure your dish is oven-proof and safe to use on the hob. Don't have one? Start cooking in a large, wide-based pan then transfer to an oven-proof dish and cover tightly with foil

Once hot, add your chicken with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 min or until starting to brown

Tip: Cooking for 4 or more? Use 2 casserole dishes!

Add the halved shallot[s] and peeled garlic with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] flour and give everything a good mix up

Add 400ml [500ml] [700ml] boiled water with your Chinese rice wine and chicken stock mix

Add your bay leaves and bring to the boil over a high heat

Cover with a lid and put the dish in the oven for an initial 35 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your chicken & bay

Meanwhile, add your Tenderstem broccoli to a large piece of tin foil with a pinch of salt, 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] cold water

Scrunch the foil around the Tenderstem broccoli to form a tightly sealed parcel, then set aside until later

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Make 2 separate parcels!

After the initial 35 min, add the Tenderstem broccoli parcel[s] to the tray with the potatoes and cook for 10-12 min or until tender with a bite

Remove the dish from the oven and stir through your crème fraîche, then return the dish to the oven, lid off, and cook for a final 8-10 min or until the sauce has slightly thickened – this is your creamy chicken & bay

Once everything is ready, remove the potatoes from the oven and crush them firmly with a spatula, then add a knob of butter and a pinch of salt

Serve the half the creamy chicken & bay (you'll eat the rest tomorrow!) over the crushed potatoes with the Tenderstem broccoli to the side

Season with a generous grind of black pepper

Dig in!

Cool the remaining creamy chicken & bay down quickly (within 2 hours max) and refrigerate in a covered container. Enjoy within 24 hours

Meal 2:

Boil a kettle

Add your pasta to a pot of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Cook the pasta for 7-9 min or until cooked with a slight bite

Once done, drain the pasta
