Bacon Wrapped Chicken Chasseur
with Parmesan Roast Potatoes and Green Veg Medley
This Chicken Chasseur takes inspiration from classic restaurant dishes to bring a fine dining experience straight into your home! Also known as 'poulet chasseur' in its native France, chicken chasseur requires frying off the chicken first before braising in sauce chasseur (hunter's sauce), a rich tomato-based sauce with mushrooms, onions and often wine.

Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Strip the thyme leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks). Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.
Wrap each chicken breast with 2 rashers of bacon. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat and its packaging.
Pop the bacon wrapped chicken onto a baking tray. Roast on the middle shelf until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Pop the (now empty) frying pan back on medium-high heat with an extra drizzle of oil if needed.
Once hot, add the bacon lardons. Stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
Add the shallot and mushrooms to the pan. Fry until softened, 5-6 mins.
Add the garlic, the tomato puree and half the thyme. Stir-fry until fragrant, 1 min.
Add the red wine jus paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) to the pan. TIP: If your red wine jus paste has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-high. Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken, stirring regularly, 4-5 mins.
When the chicken has 8-10 mins remaining, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the Tenderstem® and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Add a splash of water, then cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 4-6 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the blanched peas, sugar snaps and green beans to the pan for the last 3 mins of cooking time.
When the potatoes have a few mins left, sprinkle over the Parmigiano Reggiano and the remaining thyme. Return to the oven until melted, 2-3 mins.
When the chicken is cooked, allow it to rest for a few mins, then cut into 1cm thick slices.
When your sauce is ready, stir in the butter (see pantry for amount). Taste and season the sauce with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Share the chicken, potatoes and green veg between plates.
Spoon the chasseur sauce onto the plate and top with your sliced chicken.
Enjoy!
