Ingredients
- 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 1½ tsp sweet smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1½ tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle over
- 2 sweetcorn cobs
- 3 tbsp lighter mayonnaise
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 Little Gem lettuce, torn
- 3 piquillo peppers (from a jar), drained and cut into strips
To serve
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Step by step
- First butterfly the chicken breasts. Use a sharp knife to cut through the side of each breast, starting at the thicker end and cutting almost all the way through. Open the chicken out like a book and flatten it a little.
- Mix 1 teaspoon paprika with the thyme, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil; season and rub over the chicken.
- Preheat a griddle pan. Rub the corn cobs with ½ tablespoon oil; griddle over a medium heat for 10 minutes, turning. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the lemon zest, half the juice and the remaining paprika; season.
- Transfer the corn to a board. Add the chicken to the griddle pan; cook for 3-4 minutes each side. Slice the kernels off the cobs. Toss the lettuce and peppers; dress with a little extra oil and lemon juice; season. Serve with the corn, sliced chicken, mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
