Instructions

Step 1

Instruction

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the potato and broccoli. Chop the potato into 2cm chunks (no need to peel!). Separate the broccoli into florets (mini trees!). Trim the stalky tops from the green beans. Put the chicken breasts between two sheets of clingfilm, bash with a rolling pin until 2cm thick.

Step 2

Instruction

Pop the potato into the pan of boiling water and simmer for 15 mins, then add the broccoli and cook for another 5 mins. TIP: The potato and broccoli are cooked when you can easily slip a knife through them.

Step 3

Instruction

Meanwhile, spoon the crème fraîche into a bowl. Add the hard Italian cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir together well. In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil (see ingredients for amount), a pinch of salt and pepper. Lay your chicken on a baking tray lined with foil. Spoon equal amounts of the cheese mixture onto each chicken breast then spread with a knife to coat the breast.

Step 4

Instruction

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs onto each breast, pressing in lightly. Bake in your oven until the crumbs are golden and the chicken is cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle. Once cooked, rest the chicken for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 5

Instruction

When the potato and broccoli are cooked, drain in a colander and leave for a couple of mins, then pop back into the pan. Add a pinch of salt, pepper and a knob of butter (if you have some). Mash until everything is nicely broken up, cover with a lid to keep warm.

Step 6

Instruction

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Add the beans, a pinch of salt and pepper and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins. Serve the chicken with the broccoli mash and green beans on the side. Enjoy!
