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.

  1. Preheat oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the sundried tomatoes. Place the tapenade, sundried tomatoes and half the garlic into a bowl. Stir to combine.
  2. Carefully make a cut in the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a pocket (around 5cm long) and stuff with the tapenade mixture. Place on a lined baking tray, drizzle with 1/2 tbsp oil and season with half the Italian herbs, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 20-25 mins, until cooked.
  3. Bring a saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Quarter the potatoes, then add to the saucepan. Simmer for 15-18 mins, until softened. Add the spinach for the final 1-2 mins of cooking, then drain altogether.
  4. Finely dice the onion. Trim the green beans. Halve the tomatoes. Transfer everything into an ovenproof dish and toss with the remaining garlic, 1/2 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 15 mins, until soft and golden.
  5. Return the cooked potatoes to the pan and mash with the remaining Italian herbs, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Check your chicken is cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary.
  6. Serve the mash with the chicken and roasted vegetables.
