Ingredients
- 3 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 400 g/14 oz sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2.5cm /1 inch chunks
- 12 small cauliflower florets
- 2 large garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
- 75 ml/2½fl oz hot low-salt chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon English mustard
- 30g/1 oz melted butter
- 2 teaspoons thyme leaves
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Favourite green vegetable, to serve
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6
- Place the chicken in a large roasting tin and arrange the sweet potatoes, cauliflower and whole garlic cloves around it. Mix the stock with the mustard, melted butter and thyme and pour half over the chicken and potatoes. Drizzle over a little olive oil, cover with foil to keep the moisture in and roast for 15 minutes
- Carefully remove the tin from the oven, lift off the foil and turn the chicken, potatoes and cauliflower. Scatter around the tomatoes, then pour the remaining stock mixture over if it’s looking a little dry – you may not need all of it, but you need to keep the chicken moist. Season with a little pepper, return the tin to the oven, uncovered, and cook for another 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and there is no trace of pink in the middle and the potatoes are tender
- To serve, cut your little one’s portion of chicken into thin strips. Chop or mash their serving of potatoes cauliflower and tomatoes into small chunks, removing the tomato skins, if preferred. Crush the garlic into the juices in the roasting tin with the back of a fork and spoon enough over the vegetables to moisten slightly. Serve the chicken dish with a favourite green veg by the side
- Alternatively, finely shred your little one’s portion of chicken and serve mixed into the chopped or mashed vegetables with a little of the buttery juices and the green vegetable stirred in
