Er you better ask Old Nick to explain that there title.

Anyway this is what I did for last night's tea after finding some inspiration in what I could remember from Gordon Ramsey's show. You will need a pack of Sainsburys cheapo chicken portions, pack of shallots, punnet of cherry toms, pack of basil plus some nice breadcrumbs (I used up what was left of an organic brown loaf) olive oil and two eggs to make an egg wash.

Take the chicken portions, dredge in flour, then the egg wash and finally coat them in the breadcrumbs. Fry off the portions in olive oil till the meat and crumbs colour a bit, flip em over, then place in grill pan.

In another pan fry some chopped shallots, cherry toms and chopped basil (stalks and all) until the shallots soften. Add a little freshly milled blck pepper. Then pile this mix over the chicken portions and cover with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bung under the grill for about 10 minutes or as in my case until the cheese started carbonising when I switched the oven on full blast to finish off. Lesson learnt start in hot oven finish under grill in future, although I did catch the thing in the nick of time.

When Ramsey made his version he butterflied the chicken breasts (sliced open and spread out), the portions I used had already been sliced open, but I think they could have benefited from being walloped flatter with some kind of blunt object.

Went down very well with some warm potato salad with mint and chives and a nice bottle of Spanish red.

A little music to cook by was provided by those noisy chaps of the Damned from their very fine album Phantasmagoria.
