YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Phil Vickery’ s spring braised chicken with little gem peas and beans By You Magazine - May 31, 2020 I really like braising lettuce, not only for the texture but also for the colour it brings to the dish. You can use a red lettuce such as radicchio, or even chicory, though they do have a slightly bitter edge. If you wish, you can use only one chicken breast or replace it altogether with more vegetables to bulk out the dish. Swap in a vegetable stock cube to make it vegetarian. Kate Whitaker SERVES 4 PREPARATION TIME 25 MINUTES COOKING TIME 35-40 MINUTES 1 tsp rapeseed oil 2 medium chicken breasts, skinned and cut into thick slices 2 little gem lettuces, cut into quarters 2 red onions, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 tbsp wholemeal flour pinch of chicken stock cube 200g thin baby carrots, washed really well (you can blanch first, if you prefer) 200g frozen peas 200g frozen broad beans freshly ground black pepper 1. Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6. 2. Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof, nonstick sauté pan, then add the chicken and brown well for about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken then quickly brown the lettuce wedges in the same pan. Remove. 3. Add the onions and garlic and, again, quickly sauté, then add a little flour to soak up the oil. 4. Add 600ml of water and the stock cube, season with black pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken, carrots, peas, beans and lettuce. Return to a simmer, cover and pop in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken and carrots are just cooked.
