Ingredients
Method
Season the skin side of the chicken and seal in a hot pan. When the skin is crisp and golden season the flesh side and turn over. Add a splash more oil and the butter, garlic and thyme. Baste the chicken and then finish in a hot oven. Remove the chicken to rest.
For the sauce:
In a heavy based pan cook the lardons until the fat renders and the meat begins to colour. Add the wine and vermouth and reduce to a syrup. Add the stock and reduce by three quarters. Whisk in the butter to form a light sauce. Add the mustard and season to taste. Place the sea kale in a pan with some butter emulsion and heat to wilt slightly. Add the sea kale to the sauce.
To serve:
Divide the sea kale and sauce between four shallow bowls, slice the chicken, season and lay on top of the sea kale. Serve with chargrilled sourdough or crushed new potatoes.
