Baked chicken with zuchinni,peas and mint.

This is a quick and tasty one. Hmm maybe even to good to give away! These ingredients all go together really well. We have some good textures with this dish, the soft zucchini which were going to pan fray and then add our peas at the end to give it some pop.

Ingredients:

• Chicken breast or thigh. 150 grams
• Zucchini, 100 grams. Cut into rounds.
• Peas, 80 grams. You can also use snow-peas or sugar snaps if you don't want to use frozen peas.
• Half a bunch of mint, roughly chopped.
• 2 garlic cloves chopped up finely or grated.
• 2 tbs of oil.

Method:

• Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees. Chicken breasts take longer to cook than thighs, so you can either butterfly it through the middle or cut it into smaller pieces. Cook in the oven for roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Also to speed up cooking time in the oven, before hand sear the chicken each side in a hot pan with a little oil. Chicken should be cooked above 75 degrees or if you do not have a thermometer, clear juice should start to come out.
• While the chicken is cooking heat a skillet with some oil, once it starts to smoke place zucchini in and toss quickly. Let the zucchini get a little brown in colour , then place the peas garlic and mint and toss in the pan so ingredients are all combined.
• Cooking time for the zucchini garnish should be nice and quick, so no more than 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place all ingredients on a plate and devourer.
