Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
Pop the chips 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, bake the chips on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Lay the chicken onto another large baking tray, drizzle with oil and half the honey. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.
Sprinkle the cheese on top of the chicken.
Roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the olives into small pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the olives with the sun-dried tomato paste, chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder), remaining honey and the olive oil for the dressing and water (see pantry for both amounts).
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the cheesy chicken to your plates and spoon over the puttanesca salsa.
Add the salad leaves to the side and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
Serve with chips and mayonnaise alongside for dipping (see pantry for amount).
Enjoy!
