Courgetti is quick to cook whichever way you choose to eat it. Add it to stir-fries in the last two minutes of cooking time, steam it to serve with a pasta-style sauce, even bulk up soups and broths by adding it in at the end.

This recipe, for simple griddled chicken breast served alongside a broccoli, courgetti, almond and raisin salad is a fuss-free, delicious meal and is ready in just thirty minutes.

Ingredients

Serves Four

4 chicken breasts

2 tsp olive oil
1 ½ lemons, zested
1/2 tsp dried thyme or chilli flakes

For the salad
1 x broccoli head, broken into florets, stalk cut into thin batons
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
25g (1oz) flaked almonds, toasted
50g (2oz) raisins
1 x 250g tub *courgetti / courgette spaghetti (or make your own)

For the dressing
1½ lemons, juiced
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp sugar (or equivalent sweetener if preferred) 

Method
1. To make the salad, cook the broccoli and garlic in a pan of boiling water for two to three minutes, until the broccoli is al dente. Drain and cool for 10 mins.

2. Meanwhile, sandwich each chicken breast between 2 sheets of cling-film on a chopping board. Using a rolling pin, bash until flattened to about 0.5cm thick.

Rub with the olive oil, sprinkle with the lemon zest and thyme or chilli. Season well.

3. To make the dressing, whisk the lemon juice, oil and sugar in a bowl with some seasoning.
4. Put the broccoli, garlic, almonds, raisins and courgette in a bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss to coat; set aside until needed.

5. Heat a griddle pan on the hob. Add the chicken and griddle for 3-4 mins on each side, until cooked through with no pink meat showing.
