Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1x large saucepan
- 1x medium frying pan
- 1x baking tray lined with foil
Simmer the spuds & fennel
- Quarter the potatoes, then trim the fennel and thinly slice.
- Cook the potatoes and fennel in boiling water for 15-18 mins, then drain and lightly season.
Sort that sauce!
- Meanwhile, peel and finely dice the shallots. Peel and crush the garlic.
- Spritz a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the shallots, garlic and capers for 5-7 mins.
- Add the stock powder and pour in 200ml water (300ml water for 4 portions). Stir well and simmer for 5-7 mins, until the sauce loosely clings to the shallots.
Get grilling
- At the same time, heat your grill to high.
- Lay the chicken on a baking tray lined with foil. Scatter the tomatoes around the chicken and spritz with cooking spray. Grill for 8-10 mins, until the chicken is cooked through.
Plate up
- Finely chop the dill, then halve the lemon and cut 1 half into wedges.
- Stir the chicken, three-quarters of the dill, the mustard and yogurt into the frying pan, leaving the tomatoes on the tray. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half (to taste) into the chicken.
- Spoon out a generous portion of chicken and sauce onto each plate. Add the potatoes, fennel and tomatoes, then sprinkle over the remaining dill. Serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing.
