Ingredients
135g btl Always Fresh Fusions Red Pepper or Tomato Tapenade
4 chicken breast fillets
1kg Golden Delight potatoes, washed, peeled, coarsely grated (see note)
Olive oil, for shallow-frying
100g mixed salad leaves
Instructions
Place the tapenade in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
Place the potato in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to a frying pan to come 5mm up the side. Heat over medium heat. Add four 1/3-cup portions of potato and flatten slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until crisp and golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining mixture.
Meanwhile, preheat grill on high. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked. Thickly slice.
Serve with potato cakes and salad.
Key Points About Ingredients:
- Always Fresh Fusions Tapenade (Red Pepper or Tomato) doubles as a quick marinade, adding depth and Mediterranean character to plain chicken breasts with zero extra prep.
- Golden Delight potatoes are an ideal floury variety for pan-fried potato cakes — their low moisture and high starch content produce an exceptionally crisp, golden crust.
- Shallow-frying the potato cakes in olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats while achieving a restaurant-quality texture at home.
- Mixed salad leaves provide a fresh, peppery contrast to the richness of the potato cakes and help balance the overall plate nutritionally.
Key Nutritional Insights:
- Each serving provides a generous amount of lean protein from the chicken breast, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.
- Golden Delight potatoes contribute a meaningful dose of potassium and vitamin C, making this dish more nutrient-dense than it might appear.
- Using olive oil for shallow-frying adds predominantly monounsaturated fats, which are associated with cardiovascular health when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
- The tapenade introduces small but beneficial amounts of antioxidants from red pepper or tomato, complementing the overall nutritional profile.
