Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
  • Pull out a sieve, a large bowl, a large bowl & a large frying pan

Get started

  • Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes, then place onto a lined baking tray, drizzle with 1/2 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins until golden
  • Meanwhile, add the chicken to the large bowl, along with the garlic herb paste and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine

Roast the courgettes

  • Dice the courgettes into 2cm cubes
  • Add the courgette to the other baking tray. Toss with 2 tsp oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 22-25 mins, until golden and softened

Cook the chicken & prep

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 mins per side, then transfer to the courgette tray and roast for 14 mins, until cooked through
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the shallot, then add to the large bowl with the maple mustard dressing, apple cider vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper
  • Trim and thinly slice the lettuce. Drain the sweetcorn. Dice the cucumber into 2cm cubes

Char the corn

  • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with 1 tsp oil. Once hot, add the corn and cook for 5-6 mins, until deep golden brown
  • When everything's ready, add the roasted potatoes, courgette, sweetcorn and 1/2 tbsp oil to the bowl with the dressing, and toss to coat

Finish & plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
  • Thinly slice the chicken
  • Add the lettuce and cucumber to the salad bowl and toss to combine, then serve into bowls. Top with the chicken
