HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN SUPREMES WITH LEMON THYME BUTTER AND BAKED COURGETTES

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200 C, 180 C fan, 400 F, gas 6. Mix the butter with half the thyme, and rest the chicken breasts on the other half in a roasting tin. Drizzle with a little olive oil; season well. Put the courgettes in another tin, with a little more olive oil and seasoning. Cook the chicken and the courgettes for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the courgettes are caramelised.
  2. Meanwhile, steam the potatoes. When the chicken is cooked, slice the breasts and serve with a generous topping of the thyme butter, with the courgettes and the potatoes also topped with a little butter.

Ingredients

  • 125g (4½oz) soft butter
  • 1 small bunch lemon thyme, tough stalks removed
  • 4 free-range chicken supremes (these are breasts with the wing tip left on – ask your butcher for them)
  • 400g (14oz) baby courgettes, cut into thirds on the diagonal
  • Jersey Royal potatoes (we love them from M&S), to serve
