  • 100g orange kumara, scrubbed and diced 1cm
  • ¼ red onion, finely diced
  • 25g minced bacon
  • ½ tomato, diced 1cm
  • 1-2 spring onions, thinly sliced

  • 150g chicken breast
  • 1 egg lightly whisked with 1 tablespoon milk
  • ¼ cup plain flour seasoned with a pinch of salt

Steps

  1. oven to 230°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

  3. While kumara cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels and cut into steaks. To do this, place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and use a knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
  4. Place egg and milk, seasoned flour, and lemon herb crumb into separate bowls or plates. Coat each piece of chicken first in flour, then egg mix, then crumb, shaking off excess as you go. Set aside.
  5. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 2 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Reserve pan. Set chicken aside, uncovered, to rest for 2-3 minutes. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel.
