Ingredients
- 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
- 5 sprigs of thyme
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 courgette, thickly sliced
- 1 x 200g pack baby fennel, cut into 1cm thick slices
- 4 unpeeled garlic cloves, squashed
- ½ x 280g jar Italian artichoke antipasti, drained
- 50g pitted green olives
- ½ x 100g bag watercress rocket and spinach salad
Step by step
- Put the chicken on a board and cover with clingfilm. Bash with a rolling pin to 1cm thickness. Transfer to a plate. Sprinkle over half of the thyme leaves, add half the lemon juice and ½ tbsp olive oil, turn to coat; season.
- Heat a nonstick griddle pan. Toss the courgette, fennel, remaining thyme leaves and garlic cloves in a bowl. Drizzle over ½ tablespoon olive oil and season. Griddle for 10 minutes, turning until tender, transfer to a large bowl. Add the artichokes and olives, and toss.
- Return the pan to the heat and cook the chicken for 3 minutes each side; transfer to a plate. Whisk the remaining lemon juice and olive oil, add juices from the rested chicken and season.
- Add the salad leaves to the veg, divide between two plates and serve with the chicken, halved. Drizzle over the dressing.
