I am always on the lookout for a midweekday dinner and one of my favorites
at the moment has to be this lemon and mint griddled chicken
with some mushed chick peas
This is a tasty FoodTube supper if you've got a few mates around
it looks great, it's full of flavour and best of all it's ready in minutes.
I'm going to grab some mint, conveniently located in my garden.
So a few mint leaves, I'm going to finely chopped that with some lemon zest
A little bit of lemon zest
Right, lemon and mint all sorted
So what I need to do is transfer this to a plate
You want to take your chicken ***
and bash them.
up
To do that I have some parchment paper and basically place our two chicken wings
*** inbetween some parchment paper.
So one sheet
and two sheets!
We're going to lay down your chicken *** one-at-a-time
and then sprinkled over that lemon and mint
all the way over
You want your chicken *** to be completely covered
and then using a little bit of oil
just drizzle that right over your chicken breast
season up with a bit of sea salt, black pepper
And such fresh flavour here, you've got a summer little dish that you're
going to get excited about
So, what we need to do now is be there is place over our second bit of parchemnt paper
and now, we're gonna grab a rolling pin
and i think in the style of jamie oliver we are gonna bash the crap out of these
chicken breast, so give it a good whack
That's looks pretty good
Now the reason I'm bashing this is to make sure that we get nice quick cooking
chicken breast and makes it really really simple it should be about a
centimeter in thickness
So beautifully bashed, now what we need to do is lose this sheet of parchment paper
and just drape all that chicken in those extra little bits so that each side is evenly
coverered in all those lovely oils and lemon zest
and once they're coated you can put them straight into the pan
Let that sizzle
So once they start to cook through, give them a quick flip and turn them over
Time to take off my chicken ***
just transfer them over onto a plate like this
and while they're off what I'm gonna do is get on a frying pan
and we're gonna fry up some chick peas. Now the best way of doing this is to use
tinned chick peas, it's a really quick store copboard ingredient
Get a bit of olive oil into the pan
Some good quality olive oil goes in here
and then very quickly we're going to get our chickpeas right in there
Now the spices I'm going to add are a little bit of cumin and cumin and chickpeas are
the best of pals so get some in there.
And then just a little touch of smoked paprika. Really, really nice hit of colour
And a bit of subtle spice
and then using the rest of that lemon, the juice of the lemon, what we're gonna do
is squirt in a good bit of lemon juice in here and basically this is kind of like
a warm houmous. It's kind of bit strange but very delicious alongside a
chicken. So what I need to do is take this off the heat season up with a little bit
of sea salt
and some black pepper
then with the back of a fork just press this down almost just crushed
Now it might look like a mess right now but this is going to be
properly deliciously really simple. And if you like simple recipes
