Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Cut the potatoes (skins on) into wedges
Add the wedges to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp
While the wedges are cooking, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Grate the cheddar cheese
Combine half the chopped garlic (save the rest for later!) in a small bowl with the mayo, white wine vinegar and half the dried oregano (you'll use the rest later!)
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir it all together – this is your garlic & herb dressing
Add a handful of flour to a plate and a splash of milk to a shallow bowl
Add the panko breadcrumbs to another plate with the grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil and mix together (this will make your breadcrumbs golden!)
Season the chicken breast portions with a generous pinch of salt, then coat them in the flour, tap off any excess, then add them to the milk and finally press them into the cheesy breadcrumbs firmly to coat evenly
Add the breaded chicken to a separate baking paper-lined baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 15-18 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!) and golden – this is your crispy cheesy chicken
Meanwhile, chop the tomato[es] roughly
Wash the gem lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely
Add the chopped tomato and shredded lettuce to a bowl with a pinch of pepper and toss – this is your tomato salad
Add the remaining chopped garlic to a medium sized pot with the tomato paste, remaining dried oregano and 4 tbsp [8 tbsp] cold water
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and bring to a boil over a medium heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook for 2-3 min or until the sauce has thickened – this is your marinara sauce
Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer to a clean board and slice each breast into five strips – these are your crispy cheesy chicken fingers
Serve the crispy cheesy chicken fingers with the wedges, tomato salad and marinara sauce to the side
Drizzle the garlic & herb dressing all over the salad
Enjoy!
