CRISPY NEW POTATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until crispy. At the halfway mark, remove from the oven and give a shift. Crush the rinsed thyme sprigs between your palms to release their oils and scatter over the tray. Return to the oven for the remaining cooking time.
TOAST THE ALMONDS & PREP THE STOCK
Boil the kettle. Place a pan that has a lid over a medium heat. When hot, toast the flaked almonds for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water and set aside.
GOLDEN Chicken
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken breast dry with paper towel and season. When the pan is hot, fry the breast on one side for 5-7 minutes. Flip, pop on the lid, and fry for a further 3-4 minutes until lightly browned but not cooked through. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside.
MAKE THE CREAMY SAUCE
Leaving the juices in the pan, return it to the heat and sauté the grated garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fry for another 1-2 minutes, shifting occasionally. Lower the heat, stir in the diluted stock, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally. Stir through the cream and half of the grated cheese, and allow to reduce further for 5-6 minutes until a thick sauce. Mix in the juice of 1 Lemon wedge, then place the breast in the sauce. Simmer for another 7-8 minutes until cooked through, basting regularly with the sauce.
Peas & POTATOES
Submerge the Peas in hot water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion and toss through some Lemon zest and seasoning to taste. When the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven and discard the thicker thyme stalks. Sprinkle over the remaining grated cheese and toss until melted.
TIME TO DINE!
Serve up the tender Chicken breast, smother in Mediterranean sauce, and plate the lemony peas alongside it. Sprinkle over the sliced basil, toasted almonds, and any remaining lemon zest to taste. Serve the cheesy roast potatoes on the side. Yum!
