Bruschetta Chicken This is one of my all time favourite midweek meals. It takes about 20 mins from start to finish, so it’s a winner for when you get home from work but don’t want to spend the evening cooking. Serves - 4 • Prep - 5 mins Cook - 15 mins Ingredients 4 x chicken breasts 330g cherry tomatoes, cut in to quarters 1 large onion, diced 1 garlic clove, crushed 1/2 cup of chopped parsley 1/2 cup of chopped basil 2 tbsp Olive Oil salt & black pepper Method: Place the chicken breasts individually between two pieces of cling film and bash with a rolling pin to flatten out the breast; this makes for quick and even cooking. Heat oil in a large flat frying pan. Add the chicken breasts and fry for about 5 mins or until golden. Flip the chicken over and add into the pan the diced onion, garlic and tomatoes. Cook for another 10-15 mins, until chicken is golden brown and onions are softened. Gently stir in the parsley, basil, season with salt, pepper and serve. I served a chicken breast per person, topped with the delicious tomato and onions with a side of sweet potato cheesy wedges and pickle slices. Stuffed & Wrapped Pork Steaks Another easy-to-make and delicious meal with a Mediterranean twist. Serves 4 • Prep - 15 mins Cook - 30 mins Ingredients 4 pork steaks 125g mozzarella 8 slices of parma ham Fresh sprigs of rosemary Pepper Method: Pre-heat oven to 200°C. degrees. Lay two slices of parma ham on a surface and place a pork steak on top. Add a slice of mozzarella along the pork steak, season with pepper, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary and wrap the parma ham around the pork steak. Repeat for each steak. Place on to a baking tray and cook in the oven for 30 mins until the parma ham is crisp and pork juices are running clear. Serve and tuck in! |
