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 a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a medium bowl, a small bowl, a plate & a sieve

Start the prep

  • In the small bowl, combine the garlic herb paste with the soft cheese. Season to taste
  • To butterfly the chicken, carefully slice through one side of each breast from the thickest part to the thinnest, careful not to cut right through to the end. Open out the chicken breasts to resemble a butterfly
  • Spread the cheese mixture onto one side of each breast, then gently fold the other side over the top. Spread any remaining cheese mixture over the top of the breasts

Get breadin'

  • Transfer the pea crumb onto the plate and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken breasts into the crumb and turn to coat
  • Transfer the chicken to the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and bake for 21 mins, until cooked through

Cook the potatoes & beans

  • Add the potatoes to the pan of boiling water and simmer for 15-18 mins, until tender
  • Trim and halve the green beans. In the final 3 mins, add the green beans to the potato pan and cook until tender
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the beans from the pan and allow to cool, before adding to the medium bowl
  • Drain the potatoes, then return to the pan

Prep the salad & crush the potatoes

  • Meanwhile, pick the mint leaves from the stalks and roughly chop. Trim the lettuce and separate the leaves, then halve the leaves lengthways
  • Once cooked, lightly crush the potatoes with the back of a fork, leaving some larger chunks. Stir through two-thirds of the mint and 1 tsp olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
  • When everything is ready, add the salad leaves, remaining mint, maple mustard dressing and 1 tsp olive oil to the beans and toss to coat. Season to taste
  • Share the chicken kyivs between plates with the crushed potatoes and salad alongside
