Ingredients

Skinny Garlic Fries

  • 300g potatoes, cut into 0.5cm fries
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt

Polenta-Crusted Chicken

  • 300g chicken thighs
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup polenta crumb

Tomato Rocket Salad

  • 1 tomato
  • 1 carrot
  • ¾ bag rocket
  • Drizzle of balsamic vinegar
  • Drizzle of olive oil

To Serve

  • 2 tablespoons sundried tomato aioli

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Toss fries with garlic salt and a drizzle of oil on prepared tray. Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden and crispy. Turn once during cooking.
  2. Pat chicken dry. Whisk egg in a shallow bowl and place polenta crumb in a second bowl. Coat chicken in egg, then polenta crumb, pressing down as you go.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium heat. Cook chicken for 1-2 minutes each side, until golden but not cooked through.
  4. When fries have 8 minutes cook time remaining, push aside and add chicken to tray. Cook fries and chicken for 5-8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Set chicken aside to rest for 2 minutes before slicing thickly.
  5. While chicken is cooking, dice tomato 1cm and peel carrot into long, thin ribbons. Place in a medium bowl, along with rocket, vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine and season.
  6. To serve, divide polenta-crusted chicken, skinny garlic fries and tomato rocket salad between plates. Top chicken with a dollop of sundried tomato aioli.
