Hunter’s chicken recipe (with video) | Good Food

1 tbsp vegetable oil
plus extra for the tray
2 skinless chicken breasts
4 rashers smoked back bacon
1 red onion
sliced
½ pack runner beans
ends trimmed
2 carrots
peeled and sliced
50ml sticky BBQ sauce
25g grated parmesan

For the mash

4 potatoes
peeled and chopped
100ml milk
2 tbsp cream cheese

Method

step 1
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Oil a tray, put the chicken breasts on it and cover each one with 2 bacon rashers. Put the chicken in the oven for 20-25 mins until cooked through.
step 2
While the chicken is cooking, fry the onion in 1 tbsp oil until golden brown and soft, then set aside. Put the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water and cook for 10-15 mins until soft. Put another smaller pan of water on the hob and bring to the boil while the potatoes are cooking. Once boiling, tip in the runner beans and carrots and cook for 8-10 mins until soft but with a little bite. Drain the potatoes and put them back in the pan with the milk and cream cheese, mash until smooth and stir though the fried onions.
step 3
Once the chicken is cooked, pour over the BBQ sauce and scatter over the parmesan and return to the oven for 2 mins until the cheese has melted. Serve with the mash, carrots and runner beans.
