Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 4 chicken breasts, skin on
- 400g jar baby beets in vinegar
- 3 tbsp clear honey
- 100g bag watercress
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides, then fry, skin-side down, for 7 mins until almost cooked through and the skin is crisp. Turn over, cook for another 3 mins, then take out of the pan and keep warm. Meanwhile, drain the beetroot, reserving the vinegar, and cut into wedges.
- STEP 2
Add the honey to the pan with 3 tbsp of the vinegar, then reduce until you have a syrupy glaze. Add the beets and any juices that will have come out of the chicken, then toss for a few mins until hot through.
- STEP 3
Divide the watercress between 4 plates, then top with the beetroot and the chicken. Spoon the syrupy sauce over to serve.
