Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- Red Onion: 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- Mint: 2 tbsp mint, finely chopped, plus a few leaves to serve
- Rocket: 1/2 x 60g pack rocket
- Lime: 1 lime, zested and juiced
- Avocado: 1 small avocado, stoned and sliced
- Little Gem Lettuce: 1 large Little Gem lettuce (165g), roughly shredded
- Rapeseed Oil: 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- Peaches: 2 peaches (200g), each cut into 8 thick wedges
- New Potatoes: 240g cooked new potatoes
- Fine Beans: 160g fine beans, trimmed and halved
- Skinless Chicken Breast Fillet: 2 skinless chicken breast fillets (300g)
Directions
- Mix the lime zest and juice, oil and mint, then put half in a bowl with the garlic. Thickly slice the chicken at a slight angle, add to the garlic mixture and toss together with plenty of black pepper.
- Cook the beans in a pan of water for 3-4 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, griddle the chicken and onion for a few mins each side until cooked and tender. Transfer to a plate, then quickly griddle the peaches. If you don't have a griddle pan, use a non-stick frying pan with a drop of oil.
- Toss the warm beans and onion in the remaining mint mixture, and pile onto a platter or into individual shallow bowls with the lettuce and rocket. Top with the avocado, peaches and chicken and scatter over the mint. Serve with the potatoes while still warm.
