Impress guests with herb butter-stuffed chicken. For keto-friendly options, check the notes.
Ingredients:
  • 80g butter, softened
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh sage leaves
  • 20.00 ml finely grated parmesan
  • 4 (200g each) chicken breast fillets, skin on
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 100g green beans, trimmed, halved
  • 1 small butter lettuce, leaves separated and torn
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, halved lengthways, sliced
  • 2 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 30.00 ml white balsamic vinegar
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped chives
Instructions:
  • Combine butter, thyme, sage, and parmesan in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mix thoroughly. Gently lift the chicken skin and stuff with the butter mixture using your fingers. Transfer chicken to a large plate, cover, and refrigerate until the butter is firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place chicken on it. Spray the chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 200°C/180°C fan-forced, baste the chicken with pan juices, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine beans and 1 tablespoon of cold water. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute, or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • Prepare the white balsamic dressing by combining oil, vinegar, chives, salt, and pepper in a screw-top jar. Close the lid tightly and shake well to mix all the ingredients.
  • In a bowl, combine lettuce, cucumber, beans, and radish. Drizzle with dressing and toss to mix. Serve with chicken.
