Ingredients
- 140g breadcrumb
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- 4 skinless chicken breasts, flatten a little
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 300g Tenderstem broccoli
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- juice 1 lemon
- juice 1 lime, plus extra wedges to serve
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
Method
-
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Mix the breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, five-spice and a little seasoning on a plate. Pat dry the chicken, dip into the egg, then roll in the breadcrumb mix. Arrange on the baking tray, then bake for 25-30 mins until crisp and cooked through.

When the chicken is almost ready, boil the broccoli in salted water for a few mins until just tender. Mix the soy sauce with the citrus juices and sugar to make a dipping sauce. Serve the crispy chicken with the broccoli and little dishes of the sauce for dipping, plus lime wedges for squeezing over.
