Chicken for one

Ingredients


110g (4 oz) butter
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets
4 tablespoons lemon juice
40g (1 oz) grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation method
1. Melt 1/4 of the butter in a medium frying pan over medium high heat.
2. Add chicken to frying pan and brown for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally. When chicken is browned, add remaining butter and lemon juice (if desired, add extra lemon juice to taste).
3. Sauté for 6 minutes over medium heat, then remove chicken from frying pan. Add cheese to frying pan, stir all together until mixture has reached the consistency of a sauce, then pour the sauce over the chicken and serve hot.

Well the Chicken Cooked perfectly and was delicious. However the rest not so good. It never really turned into sauce, (maybe I was using the wrong kind of cheese?-pre grated Italian hard cheese in a tub- couldn't get any actual Parmesan) it was just cheese swimming in oil. I thought when I got the recipe ingredients together that that was a hell of a lot of butter. Next time I think I will just cook he chicken in butter and lemon juice

These were really nice but would have worked better if I'd peeled the courgettes I think, (I can chuck the peel in the stock pot collection. Also toying with the idea of mixing honey with the oil to make coating stick better.

unbelievably easy salsa

250g tomatoes
2 medium chillies finely chopped
½ teaspoon dried basil
3 tablespoon chopped coriander
I small onion
I garlic clove
100ml limejuice

Stick in blender, mix till desired consistency.


This was awesome, perfect for me. Only need half that amount for one person though. If I was serving it to other people I would stick some tomato puree in to make it redder. Went well with the courgette sticks. Could do with being accompanied by sour cream though.
