  • A handful of thyme
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Smashed chicken & radicchio bruschetta

Lean chicken breasts rubbed with aromatic spices and flash-grilled make the perfect summer lunch. Quick, easy and very healthy! I've adapted this recipe from a shoot Lindsay and I did for the March 2007 issue of Food & Home Magazine. The image was shot

Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the breasts open, horizontally.

One at a time, place a breast between 2 sheets of lightly oiled clingfilm.

Using a meat hammer, carefully flatten the breasts until they are as thin as possible without breaking them.

Drizzle some olive oil over the flattened chicken breasts. Add a few generous grindings of NoMU Plucked as well as some thyme leaves, garlic, salt and pepper. Rub into the chicken before placing onto a very hot griddle pan or bbq. Sear for a minute on one side and half a minute on the other. Please note, if your chicken is thicker, it will take longer to cook. Ensure that it is no longer pink in the centre, but do not overcook!

To serve, place the radicchio onto the bruschetta* and top with the chicken. Drizzle with some more olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Serve while warm with tzatziki and lemon achar.

Serves 6.

*To make bruschetta, griddle your bread on both sides until slightly charred. Rub with a clove of garlic and drizzle with good extra virgin olive oil.

Tip: Try griddling or roasting your radicchio with a slurp of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and sugar. The flavour is wonderful, but the radicchio will lose its gorgeous purple colour.
