Here is a super quick dish this week as I’m sure most of you are all cooked out – and that includes myself.

If you do happen to have any sprouts left over in the bottom of the fridge, then this dish is worth a shot.

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 Chicken breasts

3 tbsp. hot honey

1 tbsp. white wine vinegar 1/4 tsp. crushed chilli flakes.

2 tbsp. cooking oil

300g Brussel sprouts, trimmed, halved

Pinch of salt

Method

Pre-heat oven gas 5/190c/fan 170

To begin, mix the honey with the white wine vinegar, chilli flakes and salt. Warm this in a small pan gently.

Cook the chicken breast in a pan and finish in the oven until it is just cooked through, remove the breast and cover with the hot honey glaze. Place back in the oven for 4-5 minutes.

For the sprouts, it's best to use a frying pan.

Heat the oil until almost smoking and carefully add the sprouts. Get a nicely charred colour on the sprouts before turning down the heat slightly.

Continuously cook for around 7-8 minutes, if you like your sprouts slightly more cooked add a touch of water to steam them in the pan.

Remove the chicken from the oven spooning over the glaze and serve.
