Ingredients
Skinny Garlic Fries
- 300g potatoes, cut into 0.5cm fries
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
Polenta-Crusted Chicken
- 300g chicken thighs
- 1 egg
- ½ cup polenta crumb
Tomato Rocket Salad
- 1 tomato
- 1 carrot
- ¾ bag rocket
- Drizzle of balsamic vinegar
- Drizzle of olive oil
To Serve
- 2 tablespoons sundried tomato aioli
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Toss fries with garlic salt and a drizzle of oil on prepared tray. Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden and crispy. Turn once during cooking.
-
Pat chicken dry. Whisk egg in a shallow bowl and place polenta crumb in a second bowl. Coat chicken in egg, then polenta crumb, pressing down as you go.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium heat. Cook chicken for 1-2 minutes each side, until golden but not cooked through.
-
When fries have 8 minutes cook time remaining, push aside and add chicken to tray. Cook fries and chicken for 5-8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Set chicken aside to rest for 2 minutes before slicing thickly.
-
While chicken is cooking, dice tomato 1cm and peel carrot into long, thin ribbons. Place in a medium bowl, along with rocket, vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine and season.
-
To serve, divide polenta-crusted chicken, skinny garlic fries and tomato rocket salad between plates. Top chicken with a dollop of sundried tomato aioli.
