- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, free-range
- .1 tsp dried oregano
- .3 tbsp olive oil .
- 150g button mushrooms, wiped and halved.
- 200ml good chicken stock.
- 100ml lemon juice.
- 2 tbsp capers, drained.
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Directions
- 1. Put the chicken breasts on a board between two sheets of cling film and bash with a rolling pin until 5mm-1cm thick. Season generously and sprinkle on both sides with oregano. Set aside.
- 2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the mushrooms over a high heat until lightly browned. Tip into a bowl. Return the pan to the heat and add half of the remaining oil.
- 3. Cook the chicken breasts in two batches for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through - there should be no pink remaining. Transfer to a serving plate and keep warm in a low oven.

- 5. Return the chicken to the pan and toss lightly in the sauce. Divide between four warmed plates and spoon over the mushroom and caper sauce to serve.
