  1. To make the chicken supreme, preheat the oven to 240C/220C Fan/Gas 9. Mix the fennel seeds, cumin, paprika and oregano in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken supreme with the spice mixture. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a high heat and add the chicken skin-side down. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10 minutes or until cooked through.

  2. To make the spring vegetables, heat the oil in a separate frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spring onions, garlic and morels and fry for 2 minutes. Add the asparagus and thyme and fry for a further minute. Add the butterbeans and chicken glaze. Leave to simmer for 2 minutes then stir in the tarragon leaves. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Place the spring vegetables on a serving plate. Slice the chicken supreme and place over the vegetables. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and serve immediately.
