By Jamie Oliver
Ingredients
100g frozen peas
½ a clove of garlic
20g blanched almonds
1 bunch of mint (30g)
20g Parmesan cheese
extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
2 x 150g skinless free-range chicken breasts
olive oil
Top Tip
A little finely chopped fresh red chilli added to the sweet pea mix for a bit of heat is very delicious.
Method
- Blanch the peas, then drain.
- Peel the garlic, then in a pestle and mortar, bash it with a pinch of sea salt, then add the blanched almonds, pick in the mint leaves, grate in the Parmesan cheese and pound together. Mix in 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and the lemon juice, season to perfection and gently smash in the peas.
- Bash the chicken breasts to 1cm thick. Place in a non-stick frying pan on a high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, turning every minute for 5 minutes, or until perfectly cooked through. Rest for 2 minutes. Serve with the peas and lemon wedges.
