Ingredients

  • 160g green beans
  • 160g tenderstem broccoli
  • 30g panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 x 150g skinless free-range chicken breasts
  • 4 sprigs of thyme
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 x 570g jar of butter beans
  • 2 tablespoons natural yoghurt
  • plus olive oil, sea salt and black pepper (used in the method)

Let's cook

  1. Put the trimmed green beans and broccoli in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat, cover and let them steam and char for about 6 minutes, tossing now and then.
  2. Lay the chicken between two sheets of greaseproof paper with the breadcrumbs and bash it to about 1cm thick so the crumbs stick.
  3. Fry the chicken in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over a medium heat with the thyme and strips of lemon peel for about 6 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through.
  4. Dress the greens with lemon juice and a little extra virgin olive oil. In another pan, fry the sliced garlic and fennel seeds briefly, then add the butter beans and their liquid and simmer for about 2 minutes.
  5. Share the beans and greens between plates, add a spoon of yoghurt, slice the chicken on top and serve with lemon wedges.
