step 1
Bring a saucepan filled with water to a boil. Drop in the green beans (200 g) and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Drain and leave to cool.
step 2
Meanwhile, add the fennel (1) and pink lady apples (1) to a bowl. Add the lemon juice (2), hazelnuts (2 tbsp), mustard (2 tsp) and 1 tbsp of olive oil and toss to coat.
step 3
Heat a large non-stick pan over low heat. Add a glug of olive oil followed by the chicken breasts (1 pack), skin-side down, and then turn up the heat to medium-high. Season the chicken breasts with salt and leave to cook, undisturbed, for 8 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and then cook on the other side for 10 minutes, until cooked through. In the final 2 minutes, add the cowboy butter (50 g), basting the meat until the chicken is nice and glossy.
step 4
Serve the chicken breasts alongside the slaw.
step 4 Serve the chicken breasts alongside the slaw.
