Crispy golden chicken & avo

This was delicious and quick for a mid-week meal.

Recipe is for two people...

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 x 5¼-oz skinless boneless chicken breasts

• 1 lemon

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 2 slices of smoked bacon

• 1 oz sourdough breadcrumbs

• ½ a ripe avocado

• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt

• Hot chili sauce, to serve

DIRECTIONS:

Lightly score the chicken breasts on one side, then place between two sheets of parchment paper and bash and flatten to ½ -inch thick with a rolling pin, or the bottom of a pan. Rub all over with sea salt and black pepper, and half the lemon juice. Put the flour on a plate and gently turn the chicken in it to coat. Finely chop the bacon. Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the chicken and bacon to get golden for 3 minutes. Turn the chicken, stir the breadcrumbs into the bacon and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crumbs are golden.

At the same time, peel the avocado, scoop the flesh into a pestle and mortar, then smash up until smooth. Muddle in the yogurt and a squeeze of lemon juice, and season to perfection. Spoon over your plates or a platter, sit the chicken on top and sprinkle over the crunchy bacon breadcrumbs. Drizzle erratically with chili sauce, and serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing over.
