Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cut potato into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, peel garlic. Thinly slice apple into wedges. Slice lemon into wedges. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
• Crush garlic and flaked almonds with a pestle and mortar. • Tear in parsley and pound until combined. Add grated Parmesan cheese and pound until your preferred consistency. • Add olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) and a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
TIP: If you don't have a pestle and mortar, you can combine ingredients in a food processor
• In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and turn to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• When the potatoes are done, return to saucepan and add homemade pesto, tossing to combine. Season to taste. • In a large bowl, combine apple, mixed salad leaves, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
• Slice chicken. • Divide garlicky chicken, homemade pesto potatoes and zingy apple salad between plates. • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
