This recipe for lemon chicken with charred leeks and fennel is a really easy midweek meal for one. It's ready in just 20 minutes and packed with flavour.

Ingredients

olive oil

1 tbsp tarragon, finely chopped

1 lemon, juiced, plus wedges to serve

1 cooked skinless chicken breast, shredded

4 baby leeks

1 handful green beans

½ small fennel, finely sliced

1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley chopped

Method

  1. Whisk 1 tsp oil with the tarragon, lemon juice and season well. Add the shredded chicken and leave to marinate.
  2. Heat a char-grill pan to very hot. Blanch the leeks and green beans in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then drain. Toss the leeks and fennel slices with 1 tsp oil and season. Cook the veg in batches, and sear until charred and soft enough for a knife to go through easily. Then add to a plate with the chicken and beans. Serve scattered with parsley and some lemon wedges to squeeze over.
