The last few weeks have been pretty cold so we posted a lot of curry’s, stews and comfort foods but now the evening are getting longer and the temperature outside is increasing we will look at fresher, lighter and more summer friendly recipes, still good for you, always using little or nothing in the way of processed foods, quick to get on the table after work and super for all the family. This first one is packed with flavor, is very low in fat and my family just love it, I hope you enjoy this as much s my family do.
Makes: 4 servings
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 360g Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts
- 400g Peeled and diced Potatoes
- Bag of Salad Leave
- 1/2 a cucumber Sliced
- 12 Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 Finely Sliced red Onion
- 2 tbs Coconut Oil
- 16-18 Fresh Basil Leaves
- 3 tbs Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 tbs Smoked Paprika
- Juice and Rind of 1 Lemon
PREPARATION
- Place the chicken in between two slices of grease proof paper and bash to 3/4 inch thick, place the basil, lemon rind and 2 tbs of cracked black pepper in a pestle and mortar and grind, add to the flattened chicken and place in the fridge while you get the rest of the meal ready.
- Put 1tbs of coconut oil on a backing tray and pop into a hot over to heat the oil, place the potatoes, 1tbs black pepper and paprika in a bowl and mix well, add to the heated over tray and cook for 15 minutes, remove and turn and pop back in for another 15 minutes.
- Chop the salad leaves, add the sliced onion, sliced cucumber and cut the tomatoes into 1/4 and add these, mix well (I leave this dressing free as the potatoes and chicken are tasty enough but feel free to add any low fat dressing of your choice to this)
- Place 1tbs into a large frying pan, heat this and add the chicken, cook for 5-6 minutes without shaking the pan or moving the chicken, turn and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Make sure the chicken is cook through (all times are approximate and will depend on how thick your chicken is or how small you diced the potatoes)
Plate up and enjoy!
Top Tip: Cook extra chicken , add salad and place in a pitta or a wrap for a super lunch the following day

Hi just made this for dinner and it’s lovely. The pesto sauce has gone into the chicken. Will definitely be cooking this again. Thank you Tracey
