Ingredients

  • 4 small skinless and boneless chicken breasts
  • Finely grated zest and juice 2 unwaxed lemons
  • 2 tbsp La Española Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped rosemary 
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:

  • 2 x 400 g cans butterbeans, drained and rinsed
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 200 g French beans, steamed and halved

For the dressing:

  • 2 tsp sun-dried tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp La Espanōla Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Place the chicken breasts either between 2 layers of clingfilm or in a large, clean plastic food bag, seal then beat them with a rolling pin to flatten out to about a 1cm thickness.
  2. Place La Española Olive Oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, rosemary and paprika in a shallow dish. Season well, add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and place in the fridge and allow to marinate for 3-4 hours.
  3. Place the butterbeans, green beans and tomatoes in a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing and pour most of it over the ingredients, toss to coat.
  4. Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan or griddle pan until very hot. Add the chicken with the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat. 
  5. Divide the butterbean mixture between 4 plates, place the griddled chicken on top and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
