Juicy pan-fried chicken breast, served with crisp fried potatoes, burrata and pesto.
Easy, satisfying weeknight food that can be on the table in about half an hour.
The dish works all year round – it is just as good on a cold winter’s day as on a sunny summer’s day.
I serve the potatoes on a bed of rocket, – if you don’t care for rocket, you can swap it for baby spinach, mixed salad leaves or lamb’s lettuce.

Method
- Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Halve some of them and leave others whole. Leave the skins on – it makes the salad rustic and appealing.
- Heat a good glug of oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes over a medium heat until they are golden, crisp and tender in the middle. It is important that they actually fry in the oil rather than just gently simmer. Season the potatoes with salt and freshly ground pepper once they are done.You can also cook them in the oven or an air fryer. Toss them with oil, season with salt and pepper and give them 30-40 minutes at 180°C in a conventional oven (top and bottom heat), or about 25 minutes at 160°C in an air fryer.Fry your chicken breasts when there are about 15 minutes of the cooking time left.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then turn the pieces in flour.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan with a little oil and fry the chicken over a medium heat until it is cooked through and golden on both sides.
- Divide the rocket between 4 plates together with the fried potatoes, and place a chicken breast on each.
- Top the potatoes with burrata, pesto and freshly ground pepper.

Hej Dianna
Hvornår kommer der næringsudregning på flere opskrifter ?
Hej Ruddie
Tusind tak for din besked 🙂
Uhhh jeg arbejder mig igennem de ældre opskrifter løbende, men der er jo en del, så det tager lidt tid:) Jeg prøver at balancere det med at der også skal nye opskrifter på hjemmesiden, så deler opgaverne lidt op i løbet af ugen:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Den bedste ret. Jeg har lavet den som gæstemad flere gang. Stor succes. Jeg serverer lidt ekstra grønt, majskolbe, lilla blomkål eller langtidsbagte tomater. Virkelig et hit, tak.
