Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. In a large bowl, mix the chicken with the baharat seasoning, paprika, cumin and a pinch of salt. Add ½ tbsp oil and mix well to coat.
  2. In a casserole dish or ovenproof heavy-based pan with a lid, heat 1 tbsp oil over a medium-high heat. Fry the chicken, uncovered, for 2 mins each side. Stir through the potatoes and fry for 5 mins. Add a splash of water and cover with the lid. Transfer to the oven for 10 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, blanch the beans in boiling water for 1-2 mins until just tender, then drain. Serve with the chicken and potatoes. Scatter with coriander, pomegranate seeds and flaked almonds, if you like.

Drink pairing
Try with a lightly fruity and floral rosé or cloudy lemonade.

Chef's tip
Scatter over a handful of pomegranate seeds for an extra burst of vibrant flavour and colour
