½ unit
lemon
2 unit
potato
1 bag
green beans
2 clove
garlic
1 bunch
thyme
1 bunch
rosemary
1 bunch
spring onion
1 packet
chicken breast
1 packet
panko breadcrumbs
(Contains Gluten(Wheat); )
¼ tub
Dijon mustard
1 tub
mayonnaise
(Contains Egg; )
1 bag
baby spinach leaves
olive oil
1 tsp
salt (for the chicken)
2.5 tbs
plain flour
(Contains Gluten; )
1 unit
eggs
(Contains Egg; )
¼ tsp
salt (for the dressing)
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Zest the lemon (see ingredients list) to get a generous pinch, then slice into wedges. Peel the potato and chop into 2cm chunks. Trim and halve the green beans. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Thinly slice the spring onion. Pick the thyme and rosemary leaves and finely chop. Place your hand flat on top of a chicken breast and slice horizontally, without cutting all the way through. Open up the chicken breast like a book. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
Add the potato to the boiling water and cook until soft when pierced with a knife, 10-12 minutes. When the potato has 2 minutes cook time remaining, add the green beans and cook until just tender. Drain the potato and green beans and set aside to cool.
While the potato is cooking, combine the salt (for the chicken) and plain flour in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the thyme, rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, panko breadcrumbs and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Dip the chicken breast into the flour, followed by the egg, and finally in the panko mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the crumbed chicken breast and fry until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to soak up any excess oil. TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the chicken does not stick to the pan.
In a large bowl, combine the salt (for the dressing), Dijon mustard (see ingredients list), mayonnaise, olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 4 tsp for 4 people), a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of pepper. Add the potato and green beans, baby spinach leaves and spring onion and toss to coat.
Divide the thyme and rosemary crusted chicken and potato and green bean salad between plates. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
