Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

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

Cut your sweet potato[es] (skin on) into wedges

Add the wedges to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray in the oven for 25 min or until the wedges are tender and starting to crisp

Step 1
2.

Combine half your jerk paste (you'll use the rest later!) in a bowl with half your white wine vinegar, a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of pepper – this is your jerk marinade

Add your chicken breast portion[s] and give everything a good mix up – this is your marinated chicken

Step 2
3.

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium-high heat

Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 3 min on each side or until lightly browned

Step 3
4.

Once the chicken is lightly browned, transfer the browned chicken to an oven-proof dish and pour over any excess marinade

Put the dish in the oven for 12-14 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!) and slightly charred – this is your roasted jerk chicken

Step 4
5.

Combine your carrot & cabbage slaw mix and mayo in a bowl with the remaining white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your slaw

Step 5
6.

Combine your tomato ketchup and the remaining jerk paste in a large clean bowl with 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar, a generous pinch of salt and pepper – this is your jerk glaze

Step 6
7.

Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]

Once the chicken is slightly charred and cooked through, add the roasted jerk chicken (and any chicken juices!) to the bowl with the jerk glaze

Give it a good mix up – this is your glazed jerk-spiced chicken breast

Step 7
8.

Serve the glazed jerk-spiced chicken breast with the slaw and sweet potato wedges to the side

Garnish with the sliced spring onion

Enjoy!
