Flattened Lemony Chicken with Borlotti Beans, Tomatoes and Spinach

Flattening a chicken breast helps it cook faster and more evenly. A rolling pin works best! The longer you leave the chicken to marinade, the better. Try swapping the borlotti beans for fresh green beans for a different twist.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Place the flattened chicken into a deep tray and coat it in 2tbsp olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary and some seasoning. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large frying pan, sauté the celery, carrot, onion, bay leaves and the 2tbsp of remaining olive oil with seasoning for 10 mins on a low heat.

Step 3

Add the tomatoes to the pan and turn the heat up. Allow to cook for 2 mins, then add the spinach, stock and borlotti beans, bring to the boil then turn down to a simmer for 5 mins. Remove from the heat and set aside. This should be warm to serve, not piping hot.

Step 4

In a large non-stick pan, fry the chicken on a medium heat for 6 mins each side.

Step 5

Remove onto plates and serve with the borlotti beans, an extra wedge of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.
