Notes

Ingredients

  • 250g new potatoes, halved or quartered

  • Salt & pepper

  • 200g green beans, trimmed

  • 2 chicken breasts

  • light olive oil/vegetable oil

  • 100ml chicken stock

  • 1 tbsp. capers

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced

  • 1 large garlic clove, crushed

  • Parmesan, grated, to serve


Method

  1. Place the potatoes in a saucepan. Cover with a pinch of salt and cold water, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, simmer for 8 minutes until tender. Add the green beans for the last 3 minutes, then drain and separate the potatoes and green beans.

  2. Butterfly or cut the chicken breasts through the centre lengthways, leaving one side attached so they open like a book. Brush each with oil and season.

  3. Cook the chicken in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat for 4 minutes each side until golden. Pour over the stock, capers, lemon juice and zest and simmer for a few minutes until reduced slightly. Add the potatoes and simmer for a further minute to heat through.

  4. Meanwhile, heat some oil in a small frying pan and cook the garlic for 1 minute, until starting to colour. Add the drained green beans and toss for a couple of minutes until warmed through.

  5. Serve the green beans alongside the chicken and potatoes, and sprinkle with Parmesan, if you like.
