5 Min Chicken Breast

Created with Lilydale Free Range Chicken (opens in a new tab)

Bashing the chicken breast out to 1cm thick is the trick here, so it’s cooked and golden in about 5 minutes. Serve it with a cheesy parmesan sweet potato mash and green beans tossed in a quick vinegar and parsley dressing, all on the table in under 30 minutes.

5 Min Chicken Breast, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

Method

  1. Cook sweet potato in steamer basket until soft enough to mash. Remove from heat and place into hot saucepan and mash with butter, parmesan and salt. Keep warm, until needed.
  2. Season chicken breast with sea salt and cook in a large frying pan over a medium–high heat, work in batches, turning frequently for 5 minutes or until cooked and golden.
  3. In the same steamer, quickly steam your green beans (2–3 minutes), removed and place in a serving bowl. While still hot add oil, vinegar, salt and parsley.
  4. Distribute chicken, sweet potato and beans evenly among plates, garnish with a little parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

To beat out your chicken breast, place breast between two pieces of baking paper and pound out with a heavy rolling pin until it is about 1cm thick.
