Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat a sauté pan over a medium-high heat, then cook the chicken breasts, skin-side down, for 4-5 minutes. Season, then flip the chicken and cook for another minute. Transfer to a roasting tin (set aside the pan with the fat) and roast for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and juicy.
- Meanwhile, boil the potatoes, chopped if large, for 15 minutes or until tender. Add the broad beans for the last 3 minutes. Drain.
- Put the sauté pan back on a medium heat. When hot, fry the cloves for 2 minutes, then add the chicken stock. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the potatoes and beans. Stir in the lemon juice, mascarpone and fresh herbs. Season the chicken, then slice and serve on top of the vegetables.
