Instructions:

1. Start by toasting the fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds in a dry pan. Once toasted, grind them using a mortar and pestle. Set them aside for later use.
2. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken breast with the ground spices (fennel, cumin, and mustard), ground white pepper, sea salt flakes, lemon zest, plain flour, lemon juice, and rapeseed oil. Mix everything well and let it marinate for about 20 minutes.
3. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add some rapeseed oil. Fry the marinated chicken until it turns golden brown. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
4. In the same pan, add sliced shallots and finely chopped garlic. If needed, drizzle a bit more rapeseed oil. Sauté until they become fragrant. Then, pour in the white wine and stir to deglaze the pan.
5. Add the chopped courgette and mangetout (snow peas) to the pan. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with sea salt flakes and ground black pepper.
6. Add the butter to the pan and stir until it’s fully dissolved. Put the cooked chicken back into the pan and add the finely chopped red chili. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander, stir, and your dish is ready to be served. Enjoy your delicious chicken, courgette, and mangetout stir-fry!
