Ingredients

¾ cup honey
½ cup dijon mustard
¼ wholegrain mustard
1 lemon, fresh recommended
4 cloves garlic, fresh recommended
2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon paprika
800 g (1 ¾ lb) chicken breast
6 potatoes, all-rounder, see note 1
6 carrots
250 g (9 oz) green beans, fresh or frozen
salt and pepper , to taste

Instructions

Preparation

Mince 4 cloves garlic then whisk together with ¾ cup honey, ½ cup dijon mustard, ¼ wholegrain mustard, 1 lemon juice, 2 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp paprika.
Add 800 g (1 ¾ lb) chicken breast and marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight preferred).
Slice 6 potatoes and 6 carrots into even pieces (I recommend around 2cm).
Optional: Pre-boil 6 potatoes by adding to cold water and wait until it starts bubbling (approx. 10 minutes). This helps crisp up the edges.
Drain, rinse and add salt and pepper to taste.
If not pre-boiling, soak in water while marinating to remove excess starch.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Arrange the potatoes, carrots and chicken in one large tray - try not to overcrowd. Drizzle over remaining marinade.

Cooking

Bake for 45 minutes then remove from the oven, mix to ensure even cooking and add 250 g (9 oz) green beans. Increase heat to 200°C (400°F) and bake for a further 15 more minutes for crisp potatoes.
The dish will be finished when the chicken has reached 69°C (160°F). Allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes so the juices redistribute in the chicken, keeping them moist.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Note 1 - Potatoes

Waxy or all-rounder potatoes (like Dutch Cream, chat or Yukon Gold) will hold their shape while roasting rather than falling apart like starchy varieties (like Russet).

Storing

Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge. Drizzle excess sauce over the chicken to help it stay moist.

Reheating

For best results, I recommend reheating in the oven (10-15 minutes) or air fryer (8-10 minutes) rather than the microwave (3 minutes) as the potatoes will remain crispier

Freezing

You can freeze for up to 3 months, but the potatoes will lose their crispiness.
