Method
- 01
Preheat oven to 200C (400F). In a large roasting pan or baking sheet, combine 500g chicken-breast, 300g potato, 300g sweet-potato, 200g bell-pepper, 150g onion, 20g garlic, 30g olive-oil, 5g salt, and 2g black-pepper. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- 02
Spread the mixture in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is partially cooked.
- 03
While roasting, in a medium bowl, whisk together 250g heavy-cream, 50g grated parmesan, 70g shredded cheddar-cheese, 3g salt, and 2g black-pepper until well combined.
- 04
Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Stir in 100g spinach into the roasted chicken and vegetables. Pour the cream sauce evenly over the entire mixture.
- 05
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly, thickened, and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- 06
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving hot.
