See Cook's Notes before proceeding.3 frozen chicken fillets*3 tablespoons olive oil1/2 teaspoon chili flakesZest of one, large lemonMaldon salt and coarse black pepper1 teaspoon crushed garlic1/4 cup basil leaves1/4 cup almonds with skin on, roughly chopped2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)2 tablespoons soya sauce (optional)Lightly cooked green beans or broccoli florets (optional)* Can use more but then increase remaining ingredients accordingly. 1: Slice chicken breasts on the slant using a sharp knife which is easiest to do while slightly frozen.2: Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok and add chicken, chili, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and garlic.3: Toss the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes then add the basil and almonds and toss for another couple of minutes till chicken is just cooked and nuts and herbs are fragrant.4: Add lemon juice, soya sauce and just cooked green beans or broccoli if you choose, toss through, and serve over  white or brown rice. COOK'S NOTES: I add the soya sauce and lemon juice for extra flavor and moisture but the original - without these additions - is absolutely delicious too. Feel free to increase the nuts, basil or lemon zest as it only makes an already wonderful dish even better. Lemon slices are for illustration purposes only.


ENJOY!
