  1. ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato wedges on half of a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place on the other half of the tray. Coat in the rub, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes, shifting halfway. Place the halved baby tomatoes on a second roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and set aside.

  2. TOAST

    Place a pan over medium heat with the pistachios. Toast for 2-4 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and roughly chop.

  3. REDUCE

    Return the pan to a high heat with the wine & vinegar, dried tarragon, and diced onion. Reduce until almost all the liquid has evaporated. On completion, immediately remove from the heat, and stir in a small splash of water. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.

  4. TOMS

    When the roast is halfway, pop the tray of dressed baby tomatoes in the hot oven and roast for the remaining time. On completion, the tomatoes should be starting to blister and the sweet potato and chicken should be cooked through.

  5. BÉARNAISE

    Ready 2 heatproof bowls. Place a clean pot over a medium-low heat and cover the base with 2cm of water. Keep a close eye on this water - it must never boil but only gently simmer! Place one of the heat-proof bowls over the pot of water - this is your make-shift bain marie! To the bowl, add 1 egg yolk and the reduced white wine mixture. Whisk in a cube of butter at a time, whisking constantly and only adding the next cube when the previous cube has melted. As you add more butter, the sauce will start to thicken. When all the butter has been added, remove from the heat and decant the sauce into the second heatproof bowl. Continue whisking until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste.

  6. SALAD

    In a salad bowl, combine the shredded salad leaves, a drizzle of oil, the cheese ribbons, and seasoning.

  7. FAB

    Plate up the roasted sweet potato wedges and the blistered baby tomatoes. Side with the chicken smothered in the béarnaise sauce. Serve with the salad and sprinkle over the toasted pistachios. Garnish with the chopped chives. Well done, Master Chef!
