150 g wholemeal bread
1/2 tsp ready chopped garlic
2 x boneless and skinless chicken breasts
Olive oil
1 x lemon
2 tsp runny honey
Directions
- Place torn slices of bread into a food processor with garlic and blitz to fine breadcrumbs (*this can be prepped at home and stored in a food bag)
- Place the chicken breasts between 2 large sheets of greaseproof paper, then wash your hands.
- . Using a rolling pin whack chicken breasts to flatten them to about 1 cm thick.
- Lift chicken and pour half breadcrumbs onto the paper and put chicken back down onto the breadcrumbs and scatter the remaining breadcrumbs on the top.
- Then re-cover with the paper, wash your hands. Whack the chicken again to help the crumbs stick to the chicken.
