Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Trim the beans, half the potatoes and shred the spring greens or cabbage. Cook the new potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 10-12 mins until tender. Add the green beans and spring greens for the last 3 mins. Drain, then separate the greens from the potatoes.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, cut the chicken breasts through the centre lengthways, leaving one side attached so it opens out like a book. Brush each one with a little olive oil, then season.

Step 3

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 mins on each side until golden. Pour over the stock, capers, lemon juice and zest, then simmer gently for a few minutes to reduce. Add the cooked potatoes and simmer for another minute.

Step 4

Heat a little more oil in another frying pan and fry the garlic for 1 min until lightly golden and fragrant. Tip in the drained greens and beans, and toss in the garlicky oil. Season, then scatter over the parmesan and serve with the chicken and potatoes.
