1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then fry the bacon for 5 mins on a medium heat until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the chicken to the pan, then lightly fry for 4-5 mins to brown on both sides (you may need to brown the chicken in two batches if your pan is not large enough).
2. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water for 10 mins or until tender. Cook the asparagus in a steamer over the potatoes for 6-8 mins or microwave in a covered dish with 2 tbsp water for 4-5 mins.
3. Pour the cider over the chicken, bring to the boil then reduce heat. Put the bacon back in the pan and simmer for 10-15 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the cornflour paste until lightly thickened, then add the Soya Dream and season. Stir in the drained vegetables and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Soya Dream

Soya Dream is a UHT dairy-free alternative to cream widely sold in larger supermarkets. You'll find it with other long-life milks or dessert products.

  I made this recipe using dairy as I don't need to follow a special diet. I put my sliced potatoes in the pan after I browned the chicken as opposed to using an alternative pan and cooked them in the cider (adding a little more than stated so there was enough liquid). I also added a teaspoon of mustard, some tarragon and peas. I stirred through low fat creme fraiche at the end - it was very popular served with salad and fresh bread.
