Main ingredient: chicken
Pairs well with: roasted potatoes, rice pilaf, green beans, caesar salad, garlic bread
Ingredients
- 1-2 thick slices wholemeal bread (about 2 3/4 oz)
- 1/2 garlic clove
- 2 4 oz skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 14 oz potatoes
- 2 corn on the cobs
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 small carrot
- 1/2 eating apple
- 7 oz white cabbage
- 1/2 teaspoon English mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 heaped tablespoons natural yogurt
- salt and black pepper, according to taste
Method
- Heat the oven to 400°F for the wedges.
- Tear the wholemeal bread into a food processor, add the garlic clove half and whiz the mixture into fine crumbs.
- Lay the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking paper and bash them with a rolling pin or the base of a heavy pan until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Pour half the garlic breadcrumbs onto the paper, set the flattened chicken on top and scatter the rest of the crumbs over the meat.
- Pat the crumbs firmly onto the chicken, cover it with the paper again and bash the breasts lightly once more to help the coating stick.
- Scrub the potatoes, slice them into wedges and toss the wedges in a large mixing bowl with a pinch of salt, black pepper and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- Spread the wedges in a single layer on a large baking tray and bake them for 35 minutes, shaking the tray partway through, and add the corn cobs to the tray for the last 10 minutes.
- Grate the red onion, carrot, apple with its core discarded, and white cabbage coarsely on a box grater or in a food processor.
- Tip the grated slaw vegetables into a mixing bowl and mix them with the English mustard, extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar and natural yogurt, then season the slaw to taste.
- Fry the crumbed chicken in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 3 minutes per side, once the wedges have 10 minutes left, until the coating is golden and the meat is cooked through.
- Slice the crispy chicken into 1/2-inch strips and serve it with the baked wedges, corn and slaw.
