We've combined a sweet honey mustard marinade with refreshingly bitter chicory for a chicken dish with a difference. This is perfect served with mashed potatoes and some extra steamed veg for an impressive but easy dinner party main.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken supremes (boned breast with wing tip on), skin on
- 2tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 4tbsp olive oil
- 4tbsp clear honey
- flat-leaf parsley, chopped, to serve
for the chicory:
- 4 heads chicory
- 100g (4oz) butter
- juice 1 lemon
- 2tbsp sugar
for the garlic crumbs:
- 50g (2oz) coarse breadcrumbs
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- olive oil, to drizzle
Method
- Slash the supremes at intervals, 3 to 4 times without cutting through the chicken completely. Mix together the mustard, oil and honey. Season well. Coat the chicken in the marinade and leave for 30 minutes – or covered in the fridge overnight.
- Meanwhile, cut the chicory in half lengthways. Melt the butter in a pan, and add the chicory. Squeeze the lemon juice over and sprinkle on the sugar. Bring to the boil, then cover and leave on a low simmer for 20 minutes or until softened.
- For the crumbs toss the breadcrumbs and garlic in olive oil and toast in the oven for 5 minutes.
- To serve, slice the chicken on the diagonal into 3. Place a piece of chicory between the slices. Ladle any cooking juices over and scatter with the crumbs and parsley.
