Chicken Supremes 2 x 425g

A chicken* supreme is the breast of the bird with the skin and first wing bone attached, which increases both succulence and flavour.

For a quick and easy midweek meal, stuff a chicken supreme with a herby butter, wrap in smoked bacon then roast.

Chef Valentine Warner inspires:
"Sautéed until crisp and sliced and then settled upon a delicious butter thickened jus with braised chanterelles and gem lettuce is delicately delicious if but a little conventional.

Having removed the skin and push a knife into the wide end of the chicken supreme and cut out a significant cavity that can be stuffed with a wild garlic and lemon butter. Breaded fried and a delicious 'Kiev' can be made at surprising speed.

Butter-tomato sauce; supreme skinned and marinated in grated raw onion, yoghurt and spices and tandoori is a crimson treat (yes I always include the colouring!).

A skinned beaten out chicken breast, breaded fried and crispy in its jacket of golden crumbs is so very pleasing when laid on a delicate tomato and basil sauce; real summer food. If inclined instead to dress the crispy crumbed chicken with garlic, anchovy and parsley butter, then crown with a fried egg and this would be the schnitzel treatment.

Alternatively rub with soya sauce and lightly steam the breast. Slice while hot and eat with a sauce of fresh ginger and spring onions in peanut oil and a hot chilli sauce. With steamed Chinese cabbage this is a wonderfully cleansing lunch.

A rich cream sauce with wild mushrooms, vermouth and perhaps and few finely diced lardons is an endless classic.

Sliced cold and a wonderful summer dish will see the cold chicken rested on salted cucumbers and pieces of peeled and deseeded tomato with capers and a cream-based vinaigrette containing fresh herbs such as lovage and chives."
