Makes 1 servings · About 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 130g cooked chicken breast
  • 250g baking potato
  • 90g mixed salad
  • 90g spring onion
  • 40g sweet chilli sauce
  • 4.6g olive oil

Equipment

  • microwave
  • microwave-safe plate
  • fork
  • knife
  • chopping board
  • bowl
  • spoon
  • oven gloves
  • kitchen scales

Method

  1. Scrub and prick the potato all over. Use a microwave-safe plate; at800 W allow about8–12 minutes for one250–300 g potato, turning halfway, then1-minute bursts until completely soft. Stand2 minutes. Appliance and potato size govern.
  2. Use ready-to-eat cooked chicken breast. Drain canned tuna before weighing; keep ready-to-eat fillings refrigerated until needed. Do not start this method with raw meat.
  3. Wash the salad vegetables; finely slice spring onion. Mix any measured yoghurt, mayonnaise, mustard, herbs and oil into the cold filling or dressing. Heat baked beans or a cooking sauce separately according to its packet; do not heat lettuce or cucumber.
  4. Split and fluff the potato. Add the filling and dressing; serve every listed vegetable alongside. Eat immediately. An oven-only jacket needs60–90 minutes plus preheating and is not the25-minute option.
