- 750g
(1lb 10oz) baby new potatoes
- zest
and juice of 1 lemon
- 2
tbsp chopped fresh herbs (flat-leaf parsley, chives,
basil, mint or any combination you like)
- 4
x boneless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1
tbsp olive oil
- salt
and black pepper
- 25g
(3/4 oz) butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Boil or steam the potatoes. When done, drain and cover
with a warm tea towel to absorb the steam. Mix the lemon
zest with the freshly chopped herbs.
Lay
the chicken breasts or thighs on a board and cover with
a sheet of cling film. Use the side of a rolling pin
to bash out the meat, taking care not to hit it unevenly
and make holes. Brush both sides of each escalope with
olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat
a ridged grill pan or large frying pan. When hot, fry
the chicken quickly, about 3 to 4 minutes each side
or until completely cooked on the inside. Squeeze over
the lemon juice at the last minute and let it sizzle
for a few seconds.
Toss
the potatoes in the butter, lemon zest and herbs, season
with salt and pepper and serve with the chicken.
