  • 30 g unsalted peanuts
  • 2 × 120g skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons black bean sauce
  • 150 g medium egg noodles
  • 200 g tenderstem broccoli

Instructions

  • Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and toast the peanuts as it heats up, tossing regularly, then remove and set aside, leaving the pan on the heat.
  • Meanwhile, score the chicken lengthways at 1cm intervals, going about halfway through.
  • In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon each of olive oil, red wine vinegar and black bean sauce to coat.
  • Cook in the hot pan for 3 minutes on each side, or until dark, gnarly and cooked through.
  • Cook the noodles in a large pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
  • Trim the broccoli (halving any thick stalks lengthways) and add to the water for the last 2 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a board.
  • Use tongs to carefully drag the just-cooked noodles and broccoli with a bit of their water straight into the frying pan.
  • Pound half the peanuts in a pestle and mortar until fine, toss into the pan with the remaining black bean sauce until well mixed, then divide between your plates.
  • Slice the chicken and place on top, scatter over the remaining peanuts, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, and dig in.
