Cooking Steps
1
- Zest lemon, enough to get a pinch and slice into wedges.
- Thinly slice capsicum. Thinly slice zucchini into sticks.
- Thinly slice kale, discarding any larger pieces of stalk.
- Finely chop parsley.
- Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
2
- Season chicken breast generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 5-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
3
- While the chicken is resting, wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook zucchini and capsicum, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add kale and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Season.
4
- In a small bowl, combine parsley, olive oil (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people), a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), a pinch of sugar, lemon zest and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide charred lemony veggies and chicken between plates. Spoon salsa verde and any resting juices over chicken. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
