Recipe 39 – Tray Bake Chicken, Crushed New Potatoes and Creamed Spinach

I’d really been enjoying the new Jamie Oliver programme – ’30 Minute Meals’, so had splashed out on a copy of the accompanying book. This is the first recipe I’d tried, and I did make it in exactly 30 minutes, although the time was very hectic.

The chicken was simple but tasty, and just flavoured with oregano and paprika. The crushed potatoes were my favourite part of the recipe – the potatoes were boiled, and then crushed into a frying pan with some garlic, and cooked until golden and crispy over the outside – absolutely delicious! Finally the spinach was made a bit more interesting with some cheese and spring onions and the recipe was done.

I really enjoyed this way of cooking, as it was great to see a lovely combination of food in such a short time. The rest of the recipe book looks good too, so I look forward to trying a few more things out.
