Orange Mustard Chicken with Creamy Mash

Yet again another fantastically easy and tasty recipe from the WeightWatchers Cook Smart Easy Everyday book.  This one actually comes as "Orange Mustard Chicken with Parsnip Mash" but I just cannot stand parsnips so replaced them with yummy potatoes instead and have adapted the recipe a small amount.  I also added a generous splash of Worcestershire sauce to the marmalade and mustard mix.

Serves 1 (multiply as necessary)

Ingredients (for chicken)

1 teaspoon, wholegrain mustard
2 teaspoons reduced-sugar orange marmalade
150g (5½oz) skinless boneless chicken breast
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For potatoes:

Enough potatoes for number being served, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon low fat fromage frais (per person)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (per person)
Butter, to taste

Method

1.  Preheat the grill to medium high.  Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the potatoes for approximately 20 minutes, or until cooked.

2.  In a small bowl, mix the mustard and marmalade together.

3.  Place the chicken, upper side face down, in a foil lined grill tray.  Season.  Grill for 8-10 minutes, then turn the chicken over and spread on the mustard and marmalade.  Cook for a further 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is tender and the glaze has turned a deep golden colour.

4. Drain the potatoes, mash or put through a potato ricer, add the butter, fromage frais and chopped chives or parsley.  Slice the chicken and serve piled on top of the mash.
