Method

  1. Place the chicken breast between 2 layers of cling film and flatten out with a rolling pin to a thickness of one-half cm. Mix together the garlic, lemon zest and oil. Rub the mixture into both sides of the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to marinate.
  2. Parboil the new potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 6 minutes, then rub the cut faces with a little oil from the marinade.
  3. Meanwhile to make the yogurt mayo sauce, mix together the lemon juice, parsley, mayonnaise and yogurt. Season well with salt and pepper and set aside.
  4. Heat a griddle pan and place the potatoes face down on the grill leaving enough space for the chicken. Cook for 2 minutes then add the chicken and grill for 1 minute each side, or until cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the green beans in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
  6. Serve the chicken together with the new potatoes, green beans and yogurt-mayo sauce.
