Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- ¼ cup plain flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- juice from 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- a knob of butter
- peas to serve
- slices of lemon to serve
Instructions
- Halve the chicken breast, cover with kitchen foil and use a meat tenderiser to thinner the slices.
- Season each slice with salt and pepper, then coat in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat up the skillet, add the oil and butter, then cook the chicken on both sides for about 6-7 minutes or until cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet, and set aside.
- Combine the lemon juice with honey, and add the mixture to the skillet.
- Stir for about 2 minutes on medium heat until the juice starts to thicken.
- Add the cooked chicken and slices of lemon to the skillet and cook for a further one minute, so that the chicken is well coated with sauce and the slices of lemon are slightly softer.
- Serve hot with cooked peas and the slices of lemon.
