I have been told that this is the tastiest chicken recipe ever full with full on flavour and a bonus for these lovely summer evenings is it’s really easy to prepare. Most recipes for this cook the chicken fully on the pan in oil but I just do this to make the crumb topping golden then I finish the cooking in the oven which is much healthier and yet still delicious.

Serves 4
4 chicken breasts, skin off
100gr fresh breadcrumbs, I always use gluten free
3 tbsp grated parmesan
zest of 1/2 lemon
25gr pine nuts
2 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
3tbsp plain gluten free flour
1 egg
100ml milk
2 tbsp rapeseed or coconut oil

Oven at 180
Place chicken between 2 pieces of cling and bash until nice and flat
Combine the breadcrumbs herbs lemon zest and pine nuts and season well
Place flour on a flat plate
Whisk egg and milk together
Put milk and breadcrumbs in separate wide bowls
Heat oil in a medium hot pan, meanwhile coat chicken in flour then dip into egg milk mixture then dip into the breadcrumbs
pressing well to coat each side
Place on a plate and repeat with all the chicken
Cook the chicken in the pan for 1 minute each side until the breadcrumbs are golden
Place on a flat baking tray and into the oven to complete the cooking
Serve with a rocket salad and lemon wedges
