You’ll need:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tbsp. clear honey

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp ground black pepper
750g/1lb 10 oz. baby salad potatoes or larger ones halved

1 – Slash each chicken breast two or three times with a sharp knife. In a shallow dish – mix the honey, lemon zest and juice, garlic, mustard and black pepper for the marinade.
2 – Add the chicken to the marinade and turn to coat. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes or preferably overnight.
