Steps

  • Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting them horizontally almost all the way through.
  • Flatten each breast between sheets of cling film to a thickness of 1cm using a mallet.
  • Place two chunks of cheese and one slice of folded ham onto one side of each chicken breast.
  • Fold the chicken over the filling and press down lightly to seal.
  • Dredge the chicken in seasoned flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally roll in panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat 125g of butter in a large pan and fry the chicken for 5 minutes per side until golden.
  • Boil the French beans in salted water for 4 minutes until tender, then drain.
  • Sauté flaked almonds in the remaining 25g of butter for a few seconds.
  • Toss the beans with the almond butter, season, and serve with the chicken.
