Cooking instructions

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

1.

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

Pick a few coriander leaves and set them aside for garnish, then chop the remaining coriander finely, including the stalks

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger

Step 1
2.

Cut the red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Add the chopped coriander, garlic, ginger and chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to a pestle & mortar and grind to a paste

Tip: If you don't have a pestle and mortar, chop everything very finely!

Step 2
3.

Add 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil, the juice of half your lime[s], a pinch of sugar and a generous pinch of salt and mix to combine – this is your spicy green chutney

Chop your sweet potato[es] (skin on) into large bite-sized pieces

Cut your red onion[s] into quarters, leaving the skins and root on (this stops them drying out and falling apart when roasting)

Step 3
4.

Cut 1 piece of tin foil per person approx. the size of A4 sheets of paper

Add 2 chicken thighs to each piece of foil

Spoon the spicy green chutney over the chicken evenly

Scrunch the edges of the tin foil together around the chicken to form a sealed parcel[s]

Step 4
5.

Add the chicken parcel[s] to one side of a baking tray (or two!) and add the chopped sweet potato and onion quarters to the other side

Drizzle vegetable oil over the chopped sweet potato and onion quarters and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-30 min or until the sweet potato is starting to crisp and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 5
6.

Meanwhile, combine the juice of the remaining lime[s] with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil in a bowl, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your dressing

Wash the salad and pat dry with kitchen paper

Step 6
7.

Once the vegetables and chicken are cooked, carefully cut the roots off the roasted onion quarters, peel off their skins and discard the roots and skins, then separate into petals

Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean board and shred apart using two forks – this technique is known as 'pulling'

Add the red onion petals, roasted sweet potato and salad to a large bowl and toss everything with the dressing – this is your salad

Step 7
8.

Serve the salad topped with the pulled chicken and garnish with the reserved coriander leaves – this is your Indian-style chicken salad with spicy green chutney

Sprinkle the nigella seeds over the top

Enjoy!
