    • Preparation time: 10 minutes
    • Cooking time: 30 minutes
    • Total time: 40 minutes 40 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    • 4 Waitrose Fresh Free Range Chicken Breast Fillets
    • 2 sweet potatoes (about 500g), peeled and cut into 2.5cm pieces
    • Juice of ½ unwaxed lemon, plus 1 unwaxed lemon, sliced into 8 thin rounds
    • 8 cloves garlic
    • ½ x 15g pack fresh rosemary, roughly chopped

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Cut 4 pieces of baking parchment about 4 times the size of each chicken breast, and fold each piece in half.
    2. Place a chicken breast in the middle of each sheet. Divide the sweet potato and the lemon juice equally between each parcel. Add 2 garlic cloves and sprinkle with the rosemary. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
    3. Place 2 slices of lemon on top of each chicken breast then fold the parchment over to make a parcel, tucking the edges under to ensure no steam will escape. Place on a baking sheet.
    4. Cook the parcels in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with baby leaf greens or curly kale.
