Method

  1. Make a deep cut into one side of each chicken breast and open it out like a book. Put a layer of clingfilm on top, then press down to flatten them further.
  2. Mix the garlic and thyme leaves with 2 tsp olive oil and spread over the chicken. Heat a non-stick frying pan and fry the chicken for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through (you shouldn't need any more oil).
  3. Pour over the lemon juice and season well. Put each chicken breast on a slice of toast and top with the rocket. Serve with a lemon wedge and drizzle over any pan juices.

    I have made this several times now. It's quick and easy and has a wonderful zingy flavour and a nice combination of textures. Excellent!

    This is lovely with a few chilli flakes scattered over before cooking the chicken and some finely sliced red onion with the rocket. Quick and easy and very tasty
