Ingredients

panko breadcrumbs 4 tbsp
dried parsley 1 tbsp
paprika 2 tsp
chicken breast 4
egg 1 (beaten)
tinned sweetcorn 300 g (drained)
chicken stock cube 1
crème fraîche 100 ml
spinach 1 handful
butter 50 g
garlic granules 1

Method

Prep & cook the chicken

In a bowl mix together the panko breadcrumbs along with half the dried parsley and the paprika.
With a rolling pin, bash the chicken to flatten it, so that it is thinner all over, this will make it cook more quickly.
Dip the chicken in the beaten egg, season with salt and pepper then dip into the panko breadcrumbs. Press down gently to coat the chicken fully.
Cook the chicken in the air fryer at 200°C, for 12 - 15 minutes, until cooked through. Alternatively you can cook the chicken in a conventional oven at 200°C/1 80° Fan for 25 minutes, until cooked through.
Take your butter out of the fridge so that it’s easier to make your garlic butter later on.

Cook the creamed corn

Heat a dash of oil in a pan on medium heat, add the corn and cook for a few mins, until the corn starts to turn golden brown.
Make up the stock cube with 50ml boiling water per serving (e.g. if you are cooking for 4 people you need 200ml stock) and simmer gently for 5 minutes then add the crème fraîche and heat through.
For the last minute of cooking, stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts.

Make the garlic butter

Mash together the butter, garlic granules and the rest of the dried parsley. This is your garlic butter.

Plate up

Dot the garlic butter on top of each piece of chicken and plate it up with the creamed corn and spinach.
