Broad beans, potatoes & feta with chicken

Prep 30 mins | Cook 35 mins | Serves 4

1.25 kg broad beans, podded (that’s about 400g podded broad beans)
600g even-sized small new potatoes
8 chicken thigh fillets, trimmed
Olive oil cooking spray
2 tbs olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbs chopped mint leaves
1 tbs lemon juice
75g Greek feta cheese, crumbled
Lemon wedges, to serve

Step 1 Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Add broad beans and cook for 3 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and refresh in cold water. Peel to remove broad bean outer skin. Set broad beans aside.

Step 2 Add potatoes to the boiling water and gently boil over medium high heat for 12–15 minutes until just tender. Drain and refresh in cold water. Cut potatoes into 1cm-thick slices.

Step 3 Meanwhile, spray chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Pan-fry chicken in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm. Wipe pan clean with paper towel.

Step 4 Heat oil in the frying pan over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and garlic, cook, turning occasionally, for 4–5 minutes until golden. Toss in broad beans, mint and lemon juice and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and sprinkle with feta. Serve with chicken and lemon wedges.
