Ingredients
- 240g boneless chicken thighs or breast
- 1¾ potatoes, cut into wedges
- 10ml rapeseed or olive oil
- ¾ carrot, grated
- ¼ red or white cabbage, finely shredded
- 50g plain full-fat yoghurt or Greek yoghurt
- ½ garlic clove, crushed
- ½ tsp mild paprika
- ½ tsp dried mixed herbs
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan.
- Toss the potato wedges with half the oil and bake for 30–35 minutes, turning once, until soft inside.
- Mix the chicken with the remaining oil, garlic, mild paprika and dried herbs. Do not add salt.
- Cook the chicken on a BBQ over medium heat or in the oven for 18–25 minutes, depending on thickness, until fully cooked through with no pink in the middle.
- Save about 55g cooked chicken per adult-equivalent unit for Dinner 3 before adding any adult sauces.
- Mix grated carrot, finely shredded cabbage and yoghurt to make a simple slaw. For babies, soften some carrot and cabbage by steaming or microwaving briefly before mixing with yoghurt.
- Serve chicken with wedges and slaw. Adults can add BBQ sauce, chilli, black pepper and salt at the table.
Storage and reheating
Cool leftovers within 2 hours. Refrigerate cooked chicken, bean topping and pasta mixtures for up to 48 hours. Reheat leftovers until steaming hot throughout and reheat cooked chicken only once. Freeze cooked chicken or bean topping if not using within 48 hours. Do not freeze dressed slaw or assembled pasta bake with yoghurt if you want the best texture. For babies and toddlers, keep portions separate before adding salt, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, chilli, ketchup, stock cubes, salty cheese or adult marinades.
Safety and substitutions
Chicken must be fully cooked through. Avoid charred hard bits for young children. BBQ sauce, ketchup, hot sauce and salty marinades should not be used on baby portions. Cool the saved chicken quickly and refrigerate within 2 hours. Use in Dinner 3 within 48 hours or freeze.
