Ingredients
4 x 120g free-range chicken breasts
4 tablespoons English mustard powder, plus 4 teaspoons
50g mature Cheddar cheese
4 slices of higher-welfare smoked ham
4 tablespoons plain flour
7 large free-range eggs
200g breadcrumbs
olive oil
1 eating apple
2 medium beetroot
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
extra virgin olive oil
100g watercress
12 cornichons
Method
- Lay the chicken breasts on a chopping board, slice through the side of each, then open out like a book.
- Season, then wrap each breast in a layer of clingfilm and bash with a rolling pin until ½cm thick.
- Mix the 4 teaspoons of mustard powder with a little water in a small bowl until you have a paste. Using a pastry brush, cover the cut side of each chicken piece with the paste.
- Grate the cheese over the mustard and lay a slice of ham on each, pressing down to stick it together.
- Place three dinner plates in a line on your worktop: on one, mix the remaining 4 tablespoons of mustard powder with the flour, and season.
- Break 3 of the eggs into a small bowl and beat with a fork, then pour onto the second plate. Tip the breadcrumbs onto the final plate.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
- Dip each breast into the flour mixture, until evenly coated, then dip it into the egg. Allow the excess to drip off, then dip into the breadcrumbs to coat.
- When the pan is hot, fry the breasts one or two at a time for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- In a separate frying pan, fry the remaining 4 eggs in a lug of olive oil until cooked to your liking.
- Core the apple and cut into thin matchsticks. Scrub and thinly slice the beetroot.
- Mix together the cider vinegar and 4 to 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a bowl, then toss through the watercress, apple and beetroot.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and serve each with a fried egg on top, salad and cornichons.
