Pan fried garlic and lemon chicken breast with honey and wilted greens.

This recipe makes for a super quick and healthy lunch, ideal for those on a budget as i got my greens for just 85p a bag, and you can always freeze any left over chicken breasts that you do not use!

  • What you will need:  Desired amount of chicken breasts (I used one)
  •  Lemon juice (fresh or from a bottle is fine)
  •  Garlic seasoning (I used Schwartz garlic Italian steak blend, but plain garlic granules is fine)
  •  A good squeeze of honey.
  • Spinach, Rocket or any greens that can be wilted that you enjoy. (I used both spinach and Rocket)
  • A dash of oil for your pan
  • A sprinkle of Italian hard cheese (optional)

 

What you will need to do:

  1. Put your pan on the heat to get warm with a small amount of oil, a griddle pan works best as you get the lovely looking lines on your chicken.
  2. Once your pan is hot place the chicken breasts in the pan and drizzle lemon juice over the chicken, then a squeeze of honey and brush across the chicken, and finally add your garlic seasoning.
  3. after a few minutes turn your chicken over and repeat step two onto the other side.
  4. Cook chicken all the way through, turning over every so often so it cooks through.
  5. Once cooked turn the heat off and leave the pan on the hob to keep warm.
  6. Take your chicken out of the pan and place on a small plate whilst you wilt your greens.
  7. I wilted my greens just over the heat in the griddle pan to save on washing up and to absorb some of the flavours from the pan. I also added a little lemon juice, just a drop and a sprinkle of Italian hard cheese.
  8. Once veg is wilted place on a plate, cut chicken and place on top of the greens,
  9. Serve immediately.
