There is nothing worse than standing in a hot kitchen on a beautiful Summer’s day when you would rather be outside spending time with your family or lazing in the pool. That’s why I always make sure I have a steady supply of easy, “done-in-less-than-20-minute” recipes up my sleeves for days that I can’t bare to spend time in front of a stove.
These chicken Escalopes make for an amazing and delicious meal when paired with a simple salad (I recommend one made witharugula (rocket), Salty Feta cheese and cubes of Watermelon) and it’s healthy too! The chicken is grilled which means you need minimal oil for cooking and the added bonus is that it takes merely 2 minutes per side for the chicken be fully cooked but still juicy and succulent. The addition of salty capers works perfectly with the acid from the lemons and served with a scattering of fresh parsley, you’ve got the perfect summer meal.
