Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C. Pull the thyme leaves off of the stems.
  • Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Scatter over the thyme and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. 
  • Roast in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden-brown, tossing halfway.
Chop the vegetables
2
  • Discard the tips of the green beans and then cut in half.
  • Slice the onion into half-rings. Zest and juice the lemon.
  • Transfer the green beans to a deep frying pan and submerge with a shallow layer of water. Add a pinch of salt and cover with the lid, then bring to the boil and allow to cook gently for 6 - 8 minutes.
  • Drain and rinse under cold water.
Make the dressing
3
  • In a small bowl, combine the mustard with the honey and the extra virgin olive oil, along with (per person) 0.5 tsp lemon zest and 0.5 tbsp lemon juice.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Fry the chicken
4
  • Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 2 minutes per side.
  • Reduce the heat and fry for a further 5 minutes per side, or until done. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from the pan and allow to rest under aluminum foil until serving.
  • Deglaze the pan with half of the lemon dressing, then turn off the heat and set aside until serving.
Fry the green beans
5
  • In the meantime, melt a small knob of butter in the same pan from step 2 over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the onion with the green beans for 4 - 6 minutes, or until the beans are al dente.
  • Remove from the heat and then stir in the rest of the lemon dressing.

Did you know... the green beans in this recipe contain vitamin A, a nutrient that supports the normal function of the immune system.

Serve
6
  • Serve the baby potatoes with everything else alongside.
  • Drizzle with the lemon butter from the frying pan and garnish with the rest of the lemon zest if preferred.
