Pan-fried chicken with walnut & lemon dressing

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, skin on

Salt, pepper, and lemon juice

Dressing

100g walnuts

2-3 cloves of garlic

Juice of a lemon

1 tsp of ground cumin

2 tbsp of coriander, chopped

125ml olive oil

Salt, pepper, and sugar to taste

4 scallions, chopped

To cook

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Set aside.

Set the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C, 350°F.

Toast the walnuts in a dry pan, then tip them into the processor with the other dressing ingredients. Whiz for a few seconds. Taste for seasoning; leave in the fridge until ready to serve.

Heat a pan or black grill pan. Cook the chicken skin-side down for four to five minutes to get a delicious crisp skin. Turn over and cook for another two to three minutes.

Finish the cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes in the hot oven.

The dish is very good when served with spinach, a few new potatoes, and a spoonful of the dressing on top. Any leftover dressing will last for a week in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
