These miso mushrooms and broccolini are also delicious with pan-fried pork fillets in place of the chicken.
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
50 grams broccolini
3 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt and ground pepper
2 boneless chicken breasts, skin off
6 long strips streaky bacon
1 teaspoon sesame oil
250 grams button mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon each white miso paste and mirin
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ cup water
½ cup crème fraîche
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.
Place the broccolini on a large baking tray, toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Season the chicken and wrap each breast in 3 strips of bacon.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a sauté pan and brown both sides of the chicken. Place on the tray next to the broccolini. Don’t wash the sauté pan. Roast the chicken and broccolini for about 12-14 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the chicken.
Add the sesame oil to the sauté pan and cook the mushrooms over a high heat until tender. Add the combined miso, mirin, garlic, water and crème fraîche. Season and cook for 5 minutes until reduced and syrupy. Stir in the parsley.
To serve: Divide the broccolini between plates. Top with the sliced chicken breasts and spoon over the mushrooms.
