Chicken Paillard

Chicken Paillard

with Crushed Rosemary Potatoes, Rocket and Gremolata

You have to love chefs for their ability to make even the most simple things sound like they require a Cordon Bleu certificate and a silly moustache to cook. Case in point: Chicken Paillard. To the uninitiated, this may sound like the preserve of the French aristocracy. In reality, it's just a really simple cooking method saving you time and leaving your chicken nice and tender. We've accompanied it with a classic mix of parsley, lemon zest and garlic, but if you think that sounds too simple, you can always chef things up a bit and call it a 'gremolata' ;-)

Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and pre-heat your grill to high. Slice your spring onion and your radishes finely and roughly chop the parsley. Peel and finely chop the garlic.

2

Put your baby new potatoes into the boiling water with ½ tsp of salt. Cook until you can easily slip a knife through them. This should take around 10-15 mins depending on their size.

Butterfly chicken breasts
3

Place your hand flat on top of the breast and cut it in half sideways so that you have two thin slices. Now open the chicken up like a book - you’ve just ‘butterflied’ your chicken!

Season gremolata
4

To make the gremolata, mix 4 tbsp of chopped parsley with a clove of diced garlic. Add the zest of a ½ of your lemon. Finally, add 1½ tbsp of good olive oil, 2 tsp of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Grill chicken breasts
5

Evenly coat each chicken breast in ½ tsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Squeeze on some lemon juice and put them on the highest shelf under the grill. Grill each side for around 6 mins or until the middle is no longer pink.

Break up potatoes
6

Drain your new potatoes and then run them quickly under some cold water. Using the back of a wooden spoon or something similar to break-up the potatoes slightly.

7

Heat ½ tbsp of olive oil in your pan on high heat and add in your potatoes. Throw in the leaves of the rosemary and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook them for a few mins until they have gone nice and crispy around the edges.

Finished dish
8

Finally, mix your rocket, radishes and spring onions with ½ tbsp of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve your potatoes on the side with your chicken paillard and a spoonful of gremolata. Bon appétit!
