You may like to try this the next time you plan a menu to entertain invited friends.

Mustard & Rosemary Chicken

Serves 4
Prep time 5 min
Cooking time 15 min

4 (about 680g) chicken breast fillets (I only use hormones free chicken)
1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary leaves, plus extra sprigs, to serve
1 garlic clove, crushed
600g chat potatoes, quartered
250g baby spinach leaves
20g butter
1 lemon, cut into wedges
  1. Combine chicken, mustard, juice, oil, rosemary leaves and garlic in a bowl and toss well to coat. (can be kept chilled for several hours to intensify mustard and rosemary flavour)
  2. Heat a chargrill plate on high. Cook chicken, in batches, for 6-8 min, until cooked through and browned.
  3. Meanwhile, boil, steam or microwave potatoes until just tender. Drain. Place hot potatoes in a large bowl with spinach and butter, toss gently until spinach starts to wilt and butter melts.
  4. Serve chicken fillets with potatoes and lemon wedges and top with extra rosemary sprigs.
