Foolproof pan-fried chicken

By Hannah Lewry
4
Easy

Ingredients

  • 4 free-range chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
  • 10 g coriander, chopped
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T white wine vinegar
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 10 g coriander, chopped

Method

1. Slice chicken breasts into evenly sized chunks.

2. Season and toss with olive oil. Heat 1 T olive oil in a nonstick pan until smoking hot, then pan-fry the chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes a side.

3. Mix white wine vinegar,  olive oil and coriander. Pour over the chicken to serve.

Cook's note: The chicken is also delicious in wraps, on couscous salads or with oven-roasted crispy chickpeas with feta and olives.
