Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tbs

Skinless chicken breast

450 g, (buy 4x125g fillets), fat trimmed

Brown onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Shortcut bacon

18 g, (Buy 2 x 14g slices) fat-trimmed, cut into strips

Garlic

2 clove(s), thinly sliced

Baby carrot

9 individual, (1 bunch) peeled

Sweet-style white wine

½ cup(s), dry, (125ml)

Chicken stock

Fresh thyme

⅓ cup(s), lemon variety (3 sprigs)

Asparagus

Frozen green peas

¾ cup(s), (90g), thawed

Fresh mint

Instructions

  1. Heat half the oil in a deep non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2–3 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to a plate.

Add garlic and carrots and cook, tossing occasionally, for 2–3 minutes or until carrots are golden. Add wine and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes or until wine is reduced by half.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Chargrilled wholegrain bread. TIP: If you can’t find small chicken breast fillets, cut two 250g breast fillets in half diagonally to give you four small fillets.
