Ingredients

  • 25 g butter softened
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (plus 3 whole sprigs) chopped
  • 1 medium chicken
  • 300 g new potatoes sliced
  • 400 g tinned cannellini beans drained, rinsed
  • 75 g chorizo diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas Mark 6.
  2. Mix together the butter and 1 tbsp chopped thyme. Loosen the skin over the chicken breasts with your fingers, taking care not to tear it. Spread the thyme butter over the chicken breasts under the skin. Place the whole sprigs of thyme in the chicken cavity. Place in a roasting tin and roast for 1 hour.

  3. Drain away half the chicken juices, then add the potatoes, beans, chorizo and remaining chopped thyme to the tray, roasting for a further 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked throughout.
