Herbed Chicken with Pea and Lettuce Broth Ingredients

  • 1 Chicken breast, skin left on
  • 1 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 tbsp. of each Tarragon and parsley
  • 200ml Good quality, low-salt chicken stock
  • 100g Fresh peas, podded
  • 50g Fresh broad beans, podded and skinned (optional)
  • 1 Little gem lettuce, shredded
  • 3 Spring onions, chopped

This is a beautiful dish for any weather, dainty enough for the summer yet warming and hearty for winter, too. Low in calories and starchy carbs, this light chicken meal won’t leave you feeling sluggish.

Herbed Chicken with Pea and Lettuce Broth Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan). Chop the herbs and mix together with the butter. Carefully spread the mixture under the skin of each chicken breast.

2. Roast the breasts for 30-35 minutes, or until there are no pink juices remaining when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part. Try not to overcook as the meat will dry out, and the chicken will cook a little more in the final steps.

3. When the chicken is almost cooked, heat the stock in a large sauté pan. Add the peas and broad beans and cook for five minutes or until just tender. Transfer the chicken from the oven to the pan.

4. Cook 3-5 minutes more, then add the lettuce. Cook one minute more, add the spring onions and give a quick stir.

5. Ladle the veggies and broth into a shallow bowl, top with the chicken and sprinkle with additional herbs, if liked. Serve immediately.
