Peel the potatoes. Make each one into a disc. Do this by cutting a flat top and bottom to each potato. Then cut out a disc of potato with a pastry cutter. Cut off the sharp corners to make a nice disc shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat until it starts to foam. Place the potatoes in the pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes until golden on the bottom. When done turn over the potato and cook for the same time again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Add the prepared Bisto Chicken Bouillon. Add in the thyme sprigs, and season<br>well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Cover with a lid or tin foil and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, covered until the potato is cooked. Keep warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. While the potatoes are cooking, mix the olive oil and Bisto Bouillon together to form a paste. Then rub into the chicken. Place the chicken into an oven tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Add the lemon slices to the chicken, then roast, basting the chicken with the juices in the pan, until the chicken is cooked through. When the chicken is cooked remove from the tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. Add the water to the pan, bring to the boil and whisk in the Bisto Gravy Granules Chicken. Once it thickens, strain to remove any bits, then serve with the cooked chicken, potatoes, and seasonal vegetables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This recipe has been produced and shared by Premier Serves 1010 Minutes prep time25 Minutes cook time Ingredients Fondant potatoes10 large potatoes5g sprigs of thyme75g butter500ml Bisto Chicken Bouillon \u2013 preparedSalt and black pepper to taste Roast Chicken 25g Bisto Chicken Bouillon10 x chicken breast, skin with wing bone3 lemons, cut into slices5g fresh thyme1l [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":721,"featured_media":28482,"template":"","meta":[],"categories":[592,377,375,596],"tags":[],"keydate":[],"supplier_sponsor":[876],"class_list":["post-28481","recipe","type-recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sectors-hotelshospitality","category-recipes-mains","category-recipes","category-sectors-restaurantspubs","supplier_sponsor-sponsored-premier-foods"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chicken with Lemon, Thyme and Fondant Potatoes - The Wholesale Group - Chefs&#039; Insider<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Chicken with lemon, thyme and fondant potatoes recipe using Bisto Chicken Bouillon and Gravy Granules.
