How to cook deliciously - Honeyed sesame chicken with peach & cucumber salad

1. Stage

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with a little salt on both sides and sauté, skin-side down. After about 5 mins, when the skin is brown and crisp, flip the chicken and brown it lightly all over. Transfer to a baking tray and coat each breast in the honey. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and roast for 10-12 mins until cooked through.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, to make the salad, slice the cucumber and toss in a bowl with the chilli and lime zest. Tip the peaches into another bowl and pour over boiling water, then immediately refresh under a cold tap. Peel, then slice and add to the cucumber and chilli. Mix the lime juice with the honey and oil. Toss with the lamb’s lettuce and cucumber salad. Lovely served with a chilled white wine, such as Gewürztraminer or Pinot Gris.
