Ingredients

1 large baking potato

2 tbsp olive oil

3 chicken breast fillets

1 large egg

50g wholemeal bread (two days old)

32.5g pack Asda bacon-flavoured crisps

25g sesame seeds

250g frozen peas

1 sprig of mint

1 tbsp reduced-fat crème fraîche

Tomato ketchup, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and line two baking trays with baking paper.
2
Cut potato, peeled, into chunky chips about 1.5cm thick. Add to a pan of boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and dry with kitchen paper. Put in a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil and toss to coat. Spread out on a baking tray.
3
Cut chicken into even-sized pieces. Beat egg with 1 tbsp olive oil in a shallow dish.
4
Whizz bread in a processor to make crumbs. Put crisps in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs, crisps and sesame seeds in a bowl.
5
Dip the chicken pieces first in the egg mixture, then in the crumbs. Put on the other baking tray, making sure that the pieces don't touch.
6
Bake the chips and chicken for 25 minutes. Ten minutes before everything is cooked, boil peas with mint for 4 minutes, then drain and return to the pan. Remove the mint.
7
Add crème fraîche and mash with a fork. Serve the peas with the chicken and chips and a pot of tomato ketchup.
