Ingredients

2 chicken breast
1 courgette
7 1/10 oz butter beans
1 4/5 oz ’nduja
1 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
a pinch salt
to taste black pepper

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F).
2
Season the chicken pieces with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large oven‑proof skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 3–4 minutes per side.

Add the sliced courgette to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until just softened.
5
Stir in the butter beans and crumble the ’nduja into the pan, mixing until everything is evenly coated.
6
Add the lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest over the mixture, stirring briefly to combine.
7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 167°F (165°F) and the flavors have melded.
8
Remove from the oven, let rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or basil.
