You’ll Need

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 170g), cut into large chunks
200g baby potatoes, halved
75g green beans, trimmed
15g butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper
Small squeeze of lemon juice
Small handful of chopped fresh parsley

Optional but Dangerous
Grated Parmesan
Chilli flakes
Garlic bread
Extra garlic butter for drizzling

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

In a foil tray or heatproof dish, toss the baby potatoes with the olive oil, smoked paprika, mixed herbs, salt and black pepper.

Air fry the potatoes for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

Meanwhile, mix the melted butter with the sliced garlic and lemon juice.

Add the chicken pieces to the tray and pour over the garlic butter mixture, coating everything well.

Return the tray to the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes.

Add the green beans, stir everything together and cook for a final 5–6 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, the potatoes are golden and the beans are just tender.

Finish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Lad Tip: Baby potatoes are ideal for cooking alone because you only use what you need. The rest stay fresh in the cupboard for another Home Alone recipe later in the week.
