The chicken in this all-in-one roast with beetroot and sweet potato is stuffed with mascarpone, garlic and lemon zest, creating wonderful pan juices. For extra vegetable points, sprinkle a handful of kale over the chicken for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.

- 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 3 tbsp clear honey
- 100ml dry white wine
- 2kg free-range chicken, jointed

Method

- Make a small incision in the side of each chicken piece, stuff with the mascarpone filling, then put in a large roasting tray. Arrange the beetroot and sweet potatoes around the chicken pieces, then drizzle over the honey mixture and a glug of oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked and the veg are tender-crisp. Scatter over the dill and basil, then serve with extra steamed green veg, if you like, with the pan juices poured over.
