Apparently, the merest whiff of the stuff not only increases alertness but also the ability to do mental arithmetic too.

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.

Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees.
Without peeling, chop the potatoes into 2cm cubes. Finely chop the rosemary leaves and the walnuts.
Toss the potatoes in a good splash of olive oil, half of the rosemary and a good grind of salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until crunchy and delicious.
Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through the middle so it opens like a book. Tip: This is called ‘butterflying’ and speeds up the cooking time. Coat each chicken breast in 1 tsp of olive oil.
Combine the panko breadcrumbs, walnuts, remaining rosemary and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Spoon the herby mixture on top of each chicken breast and push it onto the meat.
Put the chicken in your oven and bake for 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through (i.e. it is no longer pink in the middle) and the breadcrumbs have become golden-brown and crispy. Tip: Once cooked, turn your grill to medium-high and grill the top for a further minute to make it extra crunchy.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and a bit of olive oil over the salad leaves and gently toss. Serve your chicken with your crispy potatoes and salad leaves on the side.
