for a quick and easy TV dinner chicken breasts this has to be the most popular part of the chicken now it's very versatile incredibly tender very lean hardly any fat whatsoever the secret is cooking it without it becoming dry the first thing is to season it properly both sides two tablespoons of olive oil get the pan nice and hot the secret now is to get a really nice color on the skin really nice color no color no flavor skin side down tilt the pan so it Cooks the back of the chicken breast where it's really nice and round and very fat let the pan do the work chicken breast normally takes between sort of 10 and 12 minutes to cook properly now we've got the color on the skin the Skin's nice and crispy we're going to deglaze the pan the glaze is masala now Masala is a sweet fortified Italian wine you can also use white wine or salad flambe burn off the alcohol which gets rid of that really sort of harsh alcoholic flavor roll the chicken around the masala the glaze in the pan basically means washing the pan and lifting off all that flavor stuck to the bottom of the frying pan and putting it into the sauce now chicken stock bring that up to the boil and let it simmer for three to four minutes [Music] it's really important to leave the chicken breasts skin side up the Skin's nice and crispy and it's important now the chicken Cooks from underneath as it starts cooking

combination between the Masala and the chicken stock is quite sweet so it finishes the chicken with this really nice delicious glaze on top and there you go a delicious succulent chicken breast with the most amazing flavoursome skin phenomenal soups make stunningly simple meals my tip for adding incredible depth of flavor is to always keep your leftover parmesan rinds store them in the freezer then add to the pan as the soup cooks and leave to infuse then remove before serving is less waste and more taste another tip to take homemade soup to the next level whisking cubes of cold butter just before serving to get a glossy velvety texture and a beautifully Rich taste another fantastic standard for a fuss-free weekend eat is the classic baked potato my tip for great crispy skin is to use

back to my ultimate cookery course these are my perfect TV dinners next up my guide to getting the best ingredients for your money my shopping Mantra is very simple first rely on your senses make sure whatever you're buying it looks smells and really feels good and if you get the chance to taste it before you buy it then do it second is to recognize that knowledge is absolutely crucial the more you know about where your ingredients are from and how they produce the better so don't be scared ask lots of questions and learn and when you want a simple supper herbs are perfect to use in your cooking they add vibrancy and amazing depth of flavor and once you get the hang of them they are so quick and simple to use and one woman who really knows these Chef's best friends is expert herb grower Lorraine Melton I love herbs I love the way you can cook with them I love the smell of them she's been growing an incredible array of herbs in the wet Cambridgeshire Countryside for over 20 years and can smell a Bay from a basil at 50 pesos we grow about 150 varieties of herbs it's always interesting to grow new varieties see what they taste like see what they smell like it gets a bit addictive after a while broadly speaking you get harder herbs and softer herbs softer herbs are things like Parsi basil rocket coriander we grow um two main types of parts so we've got flat leaf parsley and curly parsley flavor wise I think they're very similar although a lot of people would say that the flat leaf parsley has got a stronger more aromatic flavor this is your common basil sweet Genovese this is a purple variety called Reuben we're doing Greek Basil Thai Basil holy basil when you're looking for a basil you want a bright fresh basil nice leaves no blemishes and nice strong stems it's got a lot of oils in it and it's very strong smelling it just tastes summer basil Lorraine certainly knows her stuff and she's right soft herbs are delicate so for maximum flavor always use them at the end of cooking or simply add as they are to cold dishes here are my top five soft herbs that I could never live without [Music] basil as Lorraine says it comes in many types all with an amazing sweet punch and flavor great blitzed in pestos sprinkled whole over mozzarella and showing its versatility it even makes a wonderful ice cream parsley beautifully earthy and intensely fresh use both the leaves and the stem for great depth of flavor in savior dressing soups and salads coriander for an amazing hint of citrus often used in Thai Dishes coriander is perfect in curries and chutneys but it bruises easily so treat it with care tarragon a staple of French cooking this has long soft green leaves and a distinct and the seed flavor great with chicken or in Rich creamy sauces [Music] finally Cherville both mild and sweet a perfect pairing with fish an incredible mix simply with melted butter for a quick sauce those are my favorite soft herbs what about the hard ones the harder ones tend to be a more Woody plant things like thyme Rosemary they've got your common time which is your ordinary General bog standard cooking time and then you've got things like lemon thyme we do an orange thyme which is actually one of my favorites it smells like thyme but it's got a deep sort of musky scent as well which is going to give you a slightly different flavor in your dish hard herbs like thyme can take more intense cooking than soft herbs so they're great in stews roast or pan frying choose the right one and you can add wonderful depth of flavor to your dishes here are my top five I use day in and day out Rosemary amazingly robust with great Bittersweet green leaves it's a classic paired with lamb delicious sprinkled over specialty breads like Focaccia or great as toppings for Fruity sorbets Lorraine's favorite thyme a heady aromatic pungent herb which adds delicious flavor to a Sunday roast it's amazing with wild mushrooms and is perfect in marinades oregano warm and full of delicious aromatic oils a staple of great Italian dishes and perfect sprinkled on pizzas or in pasta sauces [Music] age a strong tasting herb with a deliciously bitter flavor incredible in stuffings and with Rich Meats like pork or duck finally Bay Bittersweet and spicy it's delicious simmered in soups stocks and risottos and just as good dried or fresh grown herbs is a lot easier than people think it is on winter boxes in balconies and it's great you can just open your window put your hand out and snip some off when you're out looking for hers make sure they look nice and healthy no blemishes stems look strong they should just spring back it's a nice springy sort of herbs smell obviously is quite important not all things melt but obviously if you think it's one that's going to smell like lemon thyme it should have a nice fresh lemon scent and obviously the final one is taste you can tip a bit off and taste your herbs and you can see what they taste like them whether bought from a supermarket or picked from your window box herbs are a great way to add fresh flavors to your dishes perfect for delicious simple suppers [Music] even if you've got a super busy lifestyle it

even better shared [Music] next my tricks of the trade and kitchen tips first up the proper way to chop fresh herbs to get maximum flavor chopping herbs the secret is to chop them not bruise them now basil this is a soft herb so treat it with some respect when people go mad chopping herbs all the goodness comes out on the board I want the goodness left inside the basil place them all inside one another with the largest Leaf at the bottom and it's almost like rolling a cigar large one at the bottom small ones in the center and then look place them down together just roll them nice and gently don't bruise them step one rolled ready to slice sharp knife imperative fingers tucked in the bottom part of your knuckle is the guide between you and the herbs that there stops you from cutting your finger really important to get comfortable with a knife and just practice rolling the knife across the board and relaxing that wrist it's all in the wrist action so herbs up fingernails touch underneath and just up and down up and down and there you have a chopped basil that's not bruised and smelling very fragrant right coriander so you get the bunch of coriander hold it down and just lightly shave the leaves off the Stalls Bunch them up together and then just again let the knife do the work took the fingernails in and just chop once and once only don't hack it just chop it you can always identify when you bruised the herb when you've removed the herbs off the board there's a big green patch um full of flavor and none of the goodness is left on The Chopping board great tip for using leftover herbs simply chop finely mix into butter roll up in clinical and freeze then when you want a herbie hit cut into slices and melt over steaks chicken or veg asparagus is great for a simple supper to prepare always remove the Lower Woody stem by gently bending and the asparagus will snap at the perfect point then boil Steam and serve with a little of my herb butter for a cracking soft boiled egg simply place your egg in boiling water add a splash of vinegar and cook for exactly eight minutes then plunge into ice water the vinegar helps the shell peel off easily and the Ice
