HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN SUPREMES WITH LEMON THYME BUTTER AND BAKED COURGETTES
Method
- Heat the oven to 200 C, 180 C fan, 400 F, gas 6. Mix the butter with half the thyme, and rest the chicken breasts on the other half in a roasting tin. Drizzle with a little olive oil; season well. Put the courgettes in another tin, with a little more olive oil and seasoning. Cook the chicken and the courgettes for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the courgettes are caramelised.
- Meanwhile, steam the potatoes. When the chicken is cooked, slice the breasts and serve with a generous topping of the thyme butter, with the courgettes and the potatoes also topped with a little butter.
Ingredients
- 125g (4½oz) soft butter
- 1 small bunch lemon thyme, tough stalks removed
- 4 free-range chicken supremes (these are breasts with the wing tip left on – ask your butcher for them)
- 400g (14oz) baby courgettes, cut into thirds on the diagonal
- Jersey Royal potatoes (we love them from M&S), to serve
