Three cheers for chicken…

Spring one-pot roast chicken

Radishes and whole spring onions add a lovely twist to this Sunday roast and together with a sauce made using mascarpone, tarragon and lemon, it bursts with spring flavours. As everything is cooked together, the veg gets coated in the sauce and the meat stays succulent, too.
