6 skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1⁄2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
140g bag rocket
25g parmesan
lemon wedges
For the marinade
2 garlic cloves
3 rosemary sprigs, leaves finely chopped
6 sage leaves, finely shredded
zest 1 lemon and juice of ½
3 tbsp olive oil
Method
Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of cling film or baking parchment. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to bash each piece of chicken. Transfer to a dish.
To make the marinade, crush the garlic with a good pinch of salt using a pestle and mortar. Add the rosemary and sage, and give everything a good pounding. Stir through the lemon zest and juice, olive oil and some ground black pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that it’s well coated. Cover and chill for at least 2 hrs.
Heat the grill pan. Cook the chicken on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a board and leave to rest for a few mins.
Meanwhile, pour the oil and balsamic vinegar into a large bowl. Add the rocket and some seasoning. Toss together, then shave over the Parmesan. Serve the salad with the chicken, with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
