Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm chips. Place the chips on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: Cut the potato to the correct size so it cooks in the allocated time.
While the chips are baking, cut the broccoli into small florets, then roughly chop the stalk. Finely chop the garlic (see ingredients list), or use a garlic press. Finely chop the chives.
Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for the best results!
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Add the broccoli, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until just tender, 6-7 minutes. Add the baby spinach leaves and garlic and cook until wilted and fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.
Return the frying pan to a medium-low heat and add the pure cream (see ingredients list), chives and chicken stock (1/2 sachet for 2 people / 1 sachet for 4 people). Cook, scraping up any meaty bits from the pan, until slightly thickened, 5-6 minutes. Season to taste.
TIP: Add any chicken resting juices to the sauce for extra flavour!
Thinly slice the chicken. Divide the chicken, potato chips and garlic greens between plates. Drizzle the creamy chive sauce over the chicken.
