This one-pot wonder is jam-packed full of flavour, veggies and topped with crispy bacon pieces. Simple and delicious!

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tbs

Skinless chicken breast

450 g, (buy 4x125g fillets), fat trimmed

Brown onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Shortcut bacon

18 g, (Buy 2 x 14g slices) fat-trimmed, cut into strips

Garlic

2 clove(s), thinly sliced

Baby carrot

9 individual, (1 bunch) peeled

Sweet-style white wine

½ cup(s), dry, (125ml)

Chicken stock

Fresh thyme

⅓ cup(s), lemon variety (3 sprigs)

Asparagus

1 bunch(es)

Frozen green peas

¾ cup(s), (90g), thawed

Fresh mint

½ cup(s), small leaves, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat half the oil in a deep non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2–3 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Heat remaining oil in same pan over medium heat. Cook onion and bacon, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion has softened and bacon is crisp. Add garlic and carrots and cook, tossing occasionally, for 2–3 minutes or until carrots are golden. Add wine and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes or until wine is reduced by half.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Chargrilled wholegrain bread. TIP: If you can’t find small chicken breast fillets, cut two 250g breast fillets in half diagonally to give you four small fillets.
