Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 6 chicken fillets

- pepper
- 30 g Dijon mustard
- 10 sprigs rosemary
- 6 garlic cloves
- 250 g smoked streaky bacon

- 100 g frozen petit pois peas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ fan/200℃.
- Wash the potatoes and cut into cubes. Trim the chicken. Dice the streaky bacon. Mince the garlic. Boil the kettle and make up the stock.

- Put the oil and butter on the baking tray. Pop in the oven and heat up for a couple of minutes. Take out and place on the chicken and bacon.

Feel free to use 2 oven trays to fit everything.
- After 45 minutes, remove the traybake, sprinkle in the frozen petit pois and gently stir it a little. Return to the oven to bake.
