Step 1

Cut all the potatoes to roughly equal size (approx. 4cm chunks). Add the potatoes and salt (optional) to a large pot of cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 15 min or until you can pierce them easily with a fork.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place your hand flat onto each chicken breast fillet and slice in half as if you were cutting a burger bun, so you are left with two thinner pieces.

Step 3

Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and beat well with a fork. Add 3 tbsp flour to a plate and season generously with salt and pepper. On a second plate, add the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Coat each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, tapping off any excess. Dip it in the egg and coat well. Roll it in the panko breadcrumbs and make sure it is evenly coated. Repeat with the rest of the chicken and set aside – these are your chicken escalopes.

Step 5

Cut the broccoli into florets (including the stalk). Add the broccoli to the potato pot, and boil for a further 5 min.

Step 6

Peel and roughly chop (or grate) the garlic. Bash the garlic with 1/2 tsp salt in a pestle & mortar until you have a smooth paste. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a pot with the garlic paste. Once the butter has started to foam, remove the pot from the heat and set aside – this is your garlic butter.

Step 7

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil over a medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken escalopes and cook for 5 min on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer them to a piece of kitchen towel. Season with salt and pepper – this is your breadcrumbed chicken. Drain and mash the broccoli and potatoes with a knob of butter and a splash of milk. Serve with the breadcrumbed chicken and the garlic butter to the side. Enjoy!
