Jamie Oliver's Tray Baked Chicken Maryland

THIS recipe comes from Jamie's Dinners and is quite an unusual one- chicken and bananas! But the flavours went surprisingly well together and is an easy weekday dinner.

Serves 4.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, skinless

4 fresh corn on the cobs

1 x 410g cannellini or butter beans, drained

2 bananas, peeled

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 large wineglass of white wine

300ml double cream

55g butter

12 rashers of streaky bacon or pancetta

A handful of fresh mint, leaves picked

Preheat your oven to 220C/ 450F/ Gas 7 and get a roasting tray which will fit the breasts in side by side. Run a knife down the length of the raw corn cobs to remove the sweet bits of corn. Add the corn to the tray. Using a fork squash up half the beans until you have a pulp and add these to the tray, with the unsquashed half.

Put the chicken on a chopping board. and make a pocket and squash half a banana into it.  Season with salt and pepper.

Place them on the corn and beans. Add your wine and double cream, then divide the butter into little knobs and scatter all around the tray. Drape the bacon or pancetta over the breasts and bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the bacon is crisp.
