Ingredients

2 tbsp parmesan
1 lemon, 1/2 zested and juiced, 1/2 cut into wedges
50g fresh breadcrumbs
2 skinless chicken breasts, bashed to 1cm thickness
1 egg beaten
olive oil
200g green beans trimmed
a bunch parsley, chopped
1 bag of new potatoes, cut in half if large
1 pint hot vegetable stock
a sprig of thyme

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/Fan 180/Gas 6. Mix the parmesan, lemon zest and breadcrumbs. Dust the flattened chicken breasts with flour, then dip in the egg, and coat in the breadcrumb mix. Put onto a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and bake for 20 - 25 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden.

  2. Parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes, then tip the potatoes in a roasting tin with a tablespoon of oil and toss to coat well. Pour the stock over the potatoes. Cook for 40 - 45 minutes until tender. Transfer to the stove top and toss over a medium heat until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed and turned to a shiny glaze - about 15 minutes. Scatter over the thyme and serve.

  3. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3 mins, then fry for a further 5 mins, adding the lemon juice at the last minute. Add the parsley and toss together well before serving with the chicken and lemon wedges.
