Cooking Instructions:

Before cooking:

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan bake).
1. TO COOK THE POTATOES:

Spread the steamed potatoes out on an oven tray lined with baking paper and drizzle with 1 tbsp of cooking oil and season with salt. Jiggle the tray to coat well. Cook in the oven for 15 – 18 mins or until crisp.
2. TO COOK THE CHICKEN:

Remove the free-range chicken breast from its packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice each breast in half lengthwise down the middle to create two strips. Heat 2 tbsps of olive oil in a non- stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and once hot add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 mins on each side to colour and cook through. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour over the French tarragon sauce. Allow to simmer for 2 mins to heat the sauce through.
3. TO PREPARE THE SALAD:

Place rocket in a salad bowl. Peel the orange and then cut into segments. Scrape any orange juice from board over the salad. Arrange in the bowl with the rocket. Drizzle with 2 tbsps of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over toasted almonds.
TO SERVE:

Arrange potatoes on plates or in a side dish. Place chicken pieces into bowls and pour over French tarragon sauce from the pan. Serve rocket, orange and almond salad on the side or as a garnish on top of the chicken.
