Lettuce isn’t just for serving up in salads; it can also be cooked! This delightful combo of chicken, peas, and bacon works wonders with Colin’s crispy charred lettuce.
Ingredients
Method
Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan on high heat. Add the lettuce and cook until golden on one side. Transfer to a plate.
Add chicken, skin-side down, to the same pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Add onion, garlic, bacon and thyme to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes, until onion is tender.
Return chicken to pan with butter, water and bay leaves. Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes or until cooked. Season.
Scatter with peas and add lemon zest and juice. Arrange lettuce wedges over chicken in pan. Cover and simmer for a further 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve.
