Hi guys! Jamie here, hope your well
We're going to make the most delicious chicken recipe. It's fantastic
healthy, and it's a brilliant mid week meal
To guarantee that I get the perfect results that I want
I'm gonna be celebrating my Jamie Oliver by Tefal red collection
Let's get cracking on with the recipe
We're gonna wack a little marinade together, very very simple, we are gonna do a tablespoon
of olive oil, into a bowl
we're gonna go in with a little vinegar, or you could use lemon juice if you want
and we're gonna use some lovely flakes of
chili, really really nice.
so the chili flakes go in like that
Salt, pepper
and that's a very simple, gorgeous little marinade right there
now with the chicken we can put it straight in
but before I do that I want to have a little score up on the chicken
and what you gonna do is allow the seasoning in
and then i'm gonna put it in the marinade and give it a little squashing
So, get your hands in
because you can see that fat end of the chicken feel free to
push it down flat and
push in that marinade and that seasoning
the more you press it the thinner it will go, the quicker it will cook
so get in there guys, come and have a little massage up
get the flavour into that chicken
in to the pan
On a medium high heat, let's wash our hands
and then wack up some asparagus, absolutely beautiful
So first up, I';m gonna cut it at a slight angle
and I'm just gonna take the lovely tips off
and then with the stalk here, I'm just gonna cut
sort of 2cm slices like that
and then you can just check if this is nice and tender
or not at the bottom, and if they are tough you
can use these for stocks, soups and sauces
so tips off
slice the asparagus into 2cm chunks
and we've got that done. I'm using actually
some frozen broad beans and peas
They're fantastic to have in the freezer, super nutritious
so into the boiling water with
the peas, the broad beans and
the asparagus. Straight back on with the lid
With the chicken lets get the tongs and turn over
Look at that guys.
So nice
You know you can cook a chicken breast in 5-10 minutes
and if you smash it out flatter it will cook quicker
but what you can see from this pan is, these thick bottoms
very importantly distribute the heat very evenly
and not only that they retain the heat, so when you put things like
chicken breast that are cold in it, there's still loads of heat
you know colouring it, you can see how quickly that coloured up
Now we want to make a nice little sauce
We're gonna get our bunch of mint like that, we're gonna rip it off like that
the mint goes in, just a little olive oil
we're gonna hit it up with some seasoning some salt
and then we're gonna go in with some red or white wine vinegar
and then I want to take just a little ladle
of the boiling water an the veg
So we're gonna take some of that boiling water and greens
straight in
and we'll whiz it up, it will taste incredible
So this salsa is done
very very happy with that. Look at the colour guys. Let's serve it up
We're gonna put the veggies
into a nice bowl. I'm just gonna serve up one portion here
so the peas go in
We're gonna plate up a lovely chicken breast
I've taken the colour a little bit harder. I want that really golden
kind of caramelized chicken, with that chili and the vinegar
and the seasoning on. Have a little look at this, let's just plate one up
the nice thing about slicing is it, of course then you can see
if the chicken is cooked
and then I'm just gonna come over here like this
I want to use that salsa, it might not seem
like loads, but that's kind of the point of salsa right
and then I just go over, simply with a spoon
just bravely and boldly
over the top in between all the gaps. I'll finish that off
with some nice little leaves of mint
so I like going for these lovely little inner leaves here which are really nice
just a few leaves around the story just to remind people what's going on
and then just a lovely little bit
of Feta cheese, just a little chunk here
and a little bit of snow there. Lovely contrast of colour
but also really nice sort of salty seasoning
So guys look, a beautifully cooked dish
of chicken breast, spring veggies
feta, and the most delicious mint saw
