When I first bought a microwave, I vowed never to do a roast chicken in it. As a child, I'd be subjected to my parents' experiements with their first microwave and thought, not for me.

This is very civilised, quick, and low effort. Tastes and looks good.

A quick chicken meal for two

Ingredients

• Raw chicken breast and wings - you need to know the weight and then us Microwave roaster.
• Potatoes for boiling.
• Frozen veg for boiling.
• 10ml dried bisto chicken grannules.

Directions

1. Weigh chicken and work out time in the Microwave roaster.
   If chicken is going to be less than the boiled potatoes, get the spuds going.
2. Once boiling set the timer on the potatoes.
3. Set the chicken off for the half the estimated time in a glass roasting tin on 190@deg;C and simmer.
   Remember to place the joints "skin side down".
4. When the microwave stops, flip the pieces, and start the second half the cooking time.
5. Add the vegetables to the potatoes pot.
6. Prep the gravy jug ready for the vegetable water. Rest for a few minutes.
7. When the microwave finishes the cycle, get the chicken out of the oven and check everything is cooked.
8. If it is - serve up the vegetables and drain the water in to the gravy pot.
