Cooking Steps
Bring a large saucepan of water with ½ tsp salt to the boil on high heat for the potatoes.
Halve the salad potatoes (no need to peel).
When boiling, add the potatoes to the water, lower the heat to medium and cook until tender, 15-20 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander.
Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. Roughly chop the dill (stalks and all). Cut the lemon into wedges.
Quarter, core and thinly slice the apple (no need to peel). Trim the cucumber and slice into 1cm thick rounds.
In a small bowl, mix together a good squeeze of lemon juice, the capers, shallot and sugar for the salsa (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper and set aside for now.
In another bowl, mix together a good squeeze of lemon juice with the sugar and oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Add the apple and cucumber and toss together.
Make kid friendly: If your kids aren't keen on dressing, save a portion of the veg for them and mix the rest with the dressing for everyone else.
Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper or cling film. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
Pop onto a board, then give it a bash with a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan until it’s 1-2cm thick. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Crack the egg (see pantry for amount) into a bowl and whisk. Put the breadcrumbs into another bowl, season with salt (see pantry for amount) and pepper.
Dip the chicken breasts into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's completely coated. Transfer to a clean plate. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging and discard any excess egg.
Pop a large frying pan on high heat and add enough oil to completely coat the bottom of the pan. TIP: You want the oil to be hot so the chicken fries properly - heat for 2-3 mins before you add the chicken.
Once hot, carefully lay the chicken into the pan, reduce the heat to medium-high and fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins total. Turn every 2-3 mins and adjust the heat if necessary. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
Once the potatoes are cooked and drained, set aside to cool briefly, 5 mins.
Add the cooled potatoes and aioli to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss together.
Transfer the breaded chicken, potato salad and apple and cucumber salad to your serving plates.
Elevate me: For the adult portions, sprinkle the dill over the potatoes and salad and spoon the caper gremolata over the chicken.
