1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Divide the potatoes between 4 parchment bags (available at supermarkets or make your own with baking parchment) and add a good knob of butter and some seasoning to each. Lay a chicken breast on top of the potato slices, add a sprig of sage, a squeeze of lemon juice and another knob of butter and seal the bag. Put the bags on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until the potato feels soft. Split open and serve.

Know-how

Cooking potatoes along with other ingredients, rather than on their own as a side dish, means they absorb lots of flavour. Go easier on the sage if it is particularly strong. potatoes 4 large, thinly sliced

  This is a favourite and we've had it several times - tried it with sweet potatoes and that was ok. Last time I forgot to buy a lemon but had satsumas in the fruit bowl...it worked fine!

  Lots of flavour, light and the potatoes were a great alternative.
