Gino's Tip
The number of oils and fats specified are purely discretionary and are given as a guide. You may also use alternate oils like coconut, avocado, grapeseed etc.
Step 1 - Mushroom Gratin
Cook the sweet potato chunks in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes until just about soft.
While the sweet potato is cooking, heat a large frying pan over med-high heat, add a glug of olive oil and fry the quartered button mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until well browned.
Proceed to add the cream and cauliflower florets, cook for 1-2 minutes and remove your pan from the heat.
Once the sweet potato has cooked, drain through a colander, allow to steam dry for a few minutes and then gently fold into the mushroom and cauliflower mixture along with your grated parmesan. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a medium baking dish and top with crispy onions and gruyere cheese.
Pop into the oven for 3-4 minutes until the cheese has gratinated. Keep an eye on your gratin so that it doesn't singe.
Step 2 - Basil Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Give your large frying a quick clean, place it back on the stove over med-high heat and add a good glug of olive oil. Once hot, fry the chicken breasts for 2 minutes on each side for 6-8 minutes, until completely cooked through. Transfer to a serving dish.
Add the DailyDish Lemon Sauce and chopped basil to the pan and cook on medium heat until the sauce has come to a simmer, about 2-3 minutes.
Now add your butter and cook until the sauce thickens and just about coats the back of a spoon.
To Serve
Divide the mushroom gratin amongst your servings and top with a seared chicken breast and basil and lemon sauce.
