Crispy garlicky chicken
Ingredients
2 x 120 g free-range skinless chicken breasts
2 thick slices of seeded wholemeal bread , (75g each)
1 clove of garlic
1 lemon
Method
Place the chicken breasts between two large sheets of greaseproof paper, and whack with the base of a large non-stick frying pan to flatten them to about 1cm thick.
Tear the bread into a food processor, then peel, chop and add the garlic, and blitz into fairly fine crumbs.
Pour the crumbs over the chicken, roughly pat on to each side, then re-cover with the paper and whack again, to hammer the crumbs into the chicken and flatten them further.
Put the pan on a medium heat. Fry the crumbed chicken in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 3 minutes on each side, or until crisp, golden and cooked through.
Slice, plate up, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, sprinkle with lemon-dressed rocket, and serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing over.
