2. Add 200g Tenderstem broccoli to the tray and bake for a further 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

4. Return the frying pan to the heat and gently melt 150g low fat soft cheese. Stir through 2 tbsp reduced-fat green pesto, then stir in 175ml water until smooth. Add 100g young leaf spinach to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.

5. Divide the sauce between plates and top with the prosciutto-wrapped chicken and the broccoli. Serve with the potatoes on the side.
