Ingredients
Serves 4
For the sweet potato wedges:
2 large sweet potatoes
1 tbsp groundnut oil
salt and black pepper
For the coleslaw:
1 fennel bulb
2 carrots
1 small red or white cabbage
1 red apple
1 lemon
200ml natural yoghurt
2 tbsp whole grain mustard
salt and black pepper
For the chicken:
2 chicken breasts
25g Parmesan, finely grated
25g fine brown breadcrumbs
zest of lemon
tsp chilli powder
1 egg white
2 tbsp groundnut oil
Method
Preheat the oven to 200¿C/fan 180¿C/gas 6. Cut each sweet potato into eight long wedges. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Blanch the potatoes for three minutes, then drain well and tip on to a baking tray. Drizzle over the oil and season with salt and black pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes, until the sweet potato is tender and golden brown.
Trim the fennel and slice thinly (use a mandolin if you have one). Cut the carrots into matchsticks. Shred the cabbage. Quarter, core and thinly slice the apple and squeeze over a little lemon juice to keep it from discolouring. Mix together in a large bowl. Combine the yoghurt, juice of half the lemon and the mustard. Season with salt and black pepper and pour the dressing over the vegetables, stirring to coat. Set aside while you cook the chicken.
Slice each chicken breast in half through the centre, so that you have four thin pieces. Mix the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and chilli powder together and tip on to a large plate. Whisk the egg white in a shallow dish. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg white, then press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Cook the chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until light golden brown on the outside and cooked through. Serve with the sweet potato wedges and the home-made coleslaw.

Tailors and retailers miss out on back-to-school rush
Tailors and retailers across the city said it was an ominous start to what is usually a busy season for sales.
With many parents opting to continue home learning for their children, the usual rush to buy school uniforms was muted this year.
“So far we have taken about 70 to 80 orders for items like shirts and trousers,” said Vikram Attrai, manager at Stallion Bespoke Tailors in Dubai.
“Last year in the same period we had about 200 orders and lots of demand.
“We custom fit uniform pieces and use materials such as cotton, wool and cashmere.
“Depending on size, a white shirt with logo is priced at about Dh100 to Dh150 and shorts, trousers, skirts and dresses cost between Dh150 to Dh250 a piece.”
A spokesman for Threads, a uniform shop based in Times Square Centre Dubai, said customer footfall had slowed down dramatically over the past few months.
“Now parents have the option to keep children doing online learning they don’t need uniforms so it has quietened down.”

What is a calorie?
A food calorie, or kilocalorie, is a measure of nutritional energy generated from what is consumed.
One calorie, is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1°C.
A kilocalorie represents a 1,000 true calories of energy.
Energy density figures are often quoted as calories per serving, with one gram of fat in food containing nine calories, and a gram of protein or carbohydrate providing about four.
Alcohol contains about seven calories a gram.
Water waste
In the UAE’s arid climate, small shrubs, bushes and flower beds usually require about six litres of water per square metre, daily. That increases to 12 litres per square metre a day for small trees, and 300 litres for palm trees.
Horticulturists suggest the best time for watering is before 8am or after 6pm, when water won't be dried up by the sun.
A global report published by the Water Resources Institute in August, ranked the UAE 10th out of 164 nations where water supplies are most stretched.
The Emirates is the world’s third largest per capita water consumer after the US and Canada.
