    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Slice chicken breast horizontally to make 2 thin fillets. Dust chicken with a light coating of flour, shaking off any excess.

    2 Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

    3 Reduce heat to medium-low. Gently fry shallot until soft. Add garlic and gently fry until fragrant. Add wine and bring to the boil. Add stock, lemon juice and capers and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until sauce reduces.

    4 Return chicken to pan and cook for 1 minute or until heated through. Divide chicken among 4 plates. Add chickpeas to pan and cook, stirring, until heated through, then stir in parsley.

    5 Meanwhile, boil, steam or microwave greens for 1-2 minutes, or until tender. Top chicken with chickpeas and pan sauces and serve with steamed greens and lemon wedges.

    Variations

    • Can't find shallots? Use half a small white or brown onion.
    • Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour and stock.
