Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 pounds potatoes
  • 3 ounces Parmesan cheese grated
  • 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 medium egg beaten
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon parsley roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons capers drained
  • 1 anchovy fillet roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 pound cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 2 scallions sliced

Method

  • Peel and grate the potatoes into a bowl. Add the cheese, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper; mix well. Cut each chicken breast into 3 chunky pieces. Whisk the egg on a plate. Put the flour on a separate plate. Turn the chicken pieces in the flour, then the egg. Pack a thin layer of the potato mixture around the chicken pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. For the salsa verde, blend the parsley, garlic, capers and anchovy in a small food processor. Add the sour cream, sugar and a little seasoning and blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan and lightly fry the chicken on all sides to brown. Transfer to a shallow ovenproof dish and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • For the tomato salad, whisk together the vinegar, honey, remaining olive oil and a little seasoning. Combine with the tomatoes and scallions.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to warmed serving plates and serve with the tomato salad and salsa verde.
