Method
- Preheat the oven. Parboil the new potatoes in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 6 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and add to a baking tray with the fennel and shallots. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for an initial 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken breast generously with salt and pepper, then heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned.
- Once the vegetables have been in the oven for 20 minutes, add the chicken breast to the roasting tray and roast for a further 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked.
- Remove the chicken and vegetables from the pan, cover and set aside. Return the roasting tray to a medium heat on the hob, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in the orange juice, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up the caramelised bits from the tray. Add the crumbled chicken stock and Dijon mustard. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until reduced by half and the sauce develops a thicker consistency. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the roasted chicken and vegetables with the orange and Dijon mustard sauce.
