Bash-it-about Chicken
Ingredients
Food you'll need
- 4 chicken breasts
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
Stuff you'll need
- baking paper
- rolling pin (and muscles!)
- frying pan
- tongs
- chopping board
Instructions
How to make it
- Place a chicken breast in the middle of a piece of baking paper and fold the paper over the chicken.
- Take the rolling pin and bash the chicken to flatten it so that it's the same width all the way around and is about twice its original size.
- Bach the rest of the chicken breasts as well.
- Rub the chicken with oil in both sides and season with some salt and pepper.
- Add some oil to your frying pan and heat it to a medium to high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts - you want to hear a sizzle when they go into the pan.
- Cook the chicken on both sides for a couple of minutes. Use tongs to turn the pieces over. You might fit only one or two chicken breasts in the pan at a time.
- Pop the chicken onto a chopping board and cut into it to check that it is white all the way through. Chop it into slices - yum!
How to serve it
- In a burger bun with lettuce and tomato
- With pasta and Cleverest Tomato Sauce
- With mashed potatoes, coleslaw and broccoli
- Leftovers can be used in sandwiches or popped into lunchboxes.
