Time 1h20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (7 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup chicken stock
7 tablespoons red wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 pinch sugar
12 new potatoes
3 1/2 ounces goose fat or 3 1/2 ounces other fat
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
5 ounces asparagus
3 ounces fresh peas
3 ounces salted butter, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Slice the chicken breasts horizontally through the centre, yet not cutting through completely. Open them out and flatten gently to make a butterfly shape. Brush with a little olive oil, season well and griddle for 3 minutes on each side. Rest and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • To make the gravy, bring the chicken stock and wine vigorously to the boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from the heat and add the cornstarch and sugar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth and keep warm.
  • For the potatoes, tip them into a large saucepan of boiling salted water and cook for 12-15 minutes, until tender. Drain and leave on one side. While the potatoes are cooking, get started on the vegetables.
  • For the vegetables, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onions for a couple of minutes until softened.
  • Blanch the asparagus and peas in boiling water for 4 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water.
  • In a separate frying pan, heat the butter until foaming. Add the asparagus, peas, chopped sage and onion. Season and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Heat the goose fat in a frying pan and fry the potatoes for about 5 minutes, or until crisp on all sides. Serve the chicken, potatoes and vegetables with the gravy.
