Ingredients

skinless chicken thigh fillets 4
parmesan 50g, finely grated
white breadcrumbs 50g
flour 1 tbsp
egg 1, beaten
broccoli 1 small head, broken into florettes
butter 25g
garlic 1 clove, sliced
lemon ½, zested and juiced

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Season the chicken thighs. Mix the parmesan and breadcrumbs on a flat plate and put the flour and egg onto separate plates. Coat each thigh in flour, dusting off the excess, then dip in egg and roll in breadcrumbs. Sit on a rack over a baking tray and bake for 40 minutes until crisp and golden.
Step 2

Boil or steam the broccoli until tender, then drain. Melt the butter in a pan and gently sizzle the garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and zest and season. Toss with the broccoli and serve with the chicken.
