Mustard chicken with swede mash
This is a substantial, warming meal for one. Though it takes time to cook, the preparation is minimal.
ingredients
- 115g/4oz boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tbsp fat free natural fromage frais
- 1 tsp freshly chopped chives
- 1 level tsp wholegrain mustard
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 283g/10oz swede
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
method
- Preheat the grill to a medium/hot setting. Wash and pat dry the chicken breast and place in a foil lined grill tray. Mix 1 tbsp fat free fromage frais with the chives, mustard and seasoning. Brush half over the top of the chicken.
- Cook for 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over, brush with the remaining fromage frais and mustard mixture and cook for a further 12-15 minutes until tender and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the swede. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain well and mash. Season well and stir in the remaining fromage frais. Keep it warm in the oven until you're ready to serve.
- Slice the chicken and serve piled up on top of the mashed swede. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and black pepper, and accompany with green vegetables.
