Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250C / fan 230C / gas mark 9. Halve the onion and dice one half into 2cm squares. Roughly chop the potatoes into 3-4cm chunks. Slice the carrots into 1cm thick discs (peel optional). Place the chopped veg into a large ovenproof dish and set aside.
- Make the marinade; in a small bowl, mix the garlic herb paste with 4 tsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Add half the marinade to the ovenproof dish and toss to combine with the veg. Roast in the oven for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, coat the chicken with 1 tsp marinade and set aside. Dissolve the cornflour in a jug with 3 tbsp water. Make the gravy; finely dice the remaining onion. Heat a medium frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 mins, until softening. Add the remaining marinade and cook for 2 mins. Add the cornflour mixture, vinegar and 300ml hot water. Crumble in the stock cube and stir. Simmer for 8-10 mins, stirring often, until thickened.
- After 15 mins of roasting, remove the dish from the oven and place the chicken on top of the veg. Roast for another 20 mins, until the chicken is cooked. Check it's cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary.
- When nearly ready to serve, trim the green beans. Place in a saucepan over high heat and cover with salted boiling water. Boil for 2-3 mins, until cooked. Drain, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Reheat the gravy, if necessary, then serve with the chicken, roasted veg and green beans.
