Method
step 1
Make a deep cut into one side of each chicken breast and open it out like a book. Put a layer of clingfilm on top, then press down to flatten them further. Mix the garlic and thyme leaves with 2 tsp olive oil and spread over the chicken.
step 2
Heat a non-stick frying pan and fry the chicken for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through (you shouldn’t need any more oil). Pour over the lemon juice and season well. Put each chicken breast on a slice of toast and top with the rocket. Serve with a lemon wedge and drizzle over any pan juices.
