INGREDIENTS

2 chicken breasts (skin on)

1 baby gem lettuce

10 - 12 pieces of asparagus

10 - 12 tenderstem broccoli

40g almond flakes

25ml olive oil

1 lemon juice and zest

METHOD

Preheat oven to 200°C. Put in the roasting tin to heat up.

To the pan, add a little oil and turn the heat up to a medium/high heat.

Season the skin and flesh of the chicken with salt and when the pan is hot, add the chicken to the pan and brown off the skin for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp.

Turn over to seal the flesh side for 30 seconds. Add to the roasting tin.

Roast for 8 - 12 minutes depending on the size of the chicken and how long you have browned the skin side, as this would have started to cook the chicken through.

Whilst your chicken is baking, pop the griddle pan on a medium/high heat.

Oil your vegetables and season lightly.

Add your broccoli and asparagus and turn to char on each side as it cooks, 2 - 3 minutes on each will ensure the green still have a lovely bite.

Cut your gems into quarters lengthways.

To make the dressing, zest your lemon, squeeze and add 25ml of oil mix to emulsify.

Toast the almonds in a dry pan just until they catch a little colour - as soon as you smell them, take them off and crush half in a pestle and mortar. Add to the dressing and mix well.

Take out the chicken and rest it for 3 - 4 minutes as you plate up.

Cut your baby gems in to wedges, add to veg and cover in dressing. Mix to ensure everything is coated.

Slice the chicken and lay over the vegetable top with the left over almond flakes.
