1. Prepare vegetables

Read through the recipe. Finely grate the zest of half the lemon, then juice the lemon. Very thinly slice the onion, using a mandoline or sharp knife. Put onion, 2½ tsp lemon juice_ and ½ tsp sugar in a bowl. Set aside to pickle, until needed, tossing occasionally. Remove husk and silks from the corn cob. Discard the tough stems from kale__ and finely slice.

2. Cook vegetables

Chop garlic, then press with the flat side of a knife to finely mince (see cooking tip). Halve unpeeled potatoes. Put in a small saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 6 mins. Add corn and kale and cook a further 1-2 mins until vegetables are tender. Drain. Cool slightly, then slice corn kernels from cob.

3. Marinate chicken

Meanwhile, put the chicken breasts flat on a board, put your hand on top and halve horizontally into 2 equal fillets. Combine half the garlic, 1 tsp smoked paprika (the remaining paprika won’t be used in this dish) and 1 tbs olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat.       

4. Cook chicken

Heat a medium frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 mins each side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 mins. 

5. Make dressing

Remove the onion from the pickling liquid, reserving the pickling liquid. Add the lemon zest, remaining lemon juice and garlic, 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp Dijon mustard to the pickling liquid, season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine.        

6. Get ready to serve

Put the corn, kale, potatoes and onion in a large bowl, add half the dressing and toss to combine. Thinly slice the chicken. Divide the salad and chicken among plates. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and any resting juices to serve.
