Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, boned, skinned & pounded thin
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 60g plain flour
  • 200g dry breadcrumbs
  • Olive oil
  • 1 fresh ball of mozzarella
  • 50g grated Parmesan

For the tomato sauce

  • Olive oil
  • 2 shallots
  • 1 clove garlic, finely sliced
  • Approx 250g cherry tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh basil to garnish

For the potatoes

  • 500g potatoes, e.g. maris pipers
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes

For the chard

  • 2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
  • 600g baby red chard leaves

Method: How to make escalope of chicken with sautéed potatoes and red chard

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. Peel and dice the potatoes. Parboil the potatoes in salted water for 5-6 minutes until just tender. Drain well and set aside.

3. Season the chicken fillets on both side with a little salt and pepper. Lightly beat the eggs together with the milk. Dust each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs and finally coat in the breadcrumbs.( Watch the video of Gordon preparing escalopes of chicken)

4. Sauté the escalopes in a little hot olive oil until golden brown - approximately 2 minutes on each side. Drain the cooked chicken on kitchen paper, then remove to a baking tray.

5. To make the tomato sauce heat some oil in a heavy based pan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the tomatoes and basil. Allow the tomatoes to soften. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Spoon a little tomato sauce over each escalope. Top with a round of mozzarella, and sprinkle with the grated parmesan. Bake in the oven for approximately 8 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted and golden.

7. Drizzle with diced potatoes with oil and chilli flakes and season with salt and pepper. Sauté in a hot pan until golden and cooked through.

8. Heat a little olive oil in a hot pan, lightly sauté the garlic cloves, add the chard and toss. Lightly sauté until the leaves are wilted, remove the garlic and drain on kitchen towel

9. Serve each chicken escalope with a garnish of fresh basil, sautéed potatoes and a spoonful of sautéed chard.

  6. WOW Gordon thank you so much for this website, I can't go into detail, but I never learnt to cook when i xas younger, we were not allowed in the kitchen when mom was doing dinner, as I got my own place at 16 i had no choice but to learn, i was useless and still am aged 40. I bought so many books over the years admired pictures! i just do what i can do, u r amazing, i now live in france (horrifyingly worse that i can't cook, my husband is kind and says my foods ok, my daughter gets fab meals at school here, unlike sausages with ketchup in them! so please please please carry on this fantastic web site, i want to eat healthy as i'm constantly ill, but never really know what to do, so i kno now where to come each day for my inspiration and even better meals i can make that are affordable and easy, thank you gordon

  7. Yeah, it is very simple recipe to do at home after long day at work. However the chicken seems to be quite blend. Tomato salsa tastes perfect but it is not enough to infuse the chicken. In my opinion not the best dish from f world menu. Try yourself.
