1 egg
5 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 tsp sweet paprika
½ tsp coarse salt
freshly ground pepper

Pasta salad

150 g dried pasta
200 g green beans
200 green courgette
5 finely chopped spring onions
100 g cherry tomatoes
100 g crumbled white cheese blocks
1 handful flat-leaf parsley
2 small, crushed garlic cloves
1 tbsp small, crushed lemon juice
1 tsp coarse salt

Side dish

240 g wholemeal bread

Preparation

Fried chicken drumsticks

Pat the chicken dry with some kitchen towel.

Beat the egg with a fork and separately combine breadcrumbs with the spices.

First dip the chicken in egg, then in the spiced breadcrumbs. Place the chicken in a greased, ovenproof baking dish (approx. 15 x 25 cm) and roast in the middle of the oven until completely cooked for approx. 50 min. at 200°C (conventional oven).

Pasta salad

Cook the pasta in salted water in a large pot. Cook for approx. 8 minutes uncovered, then add the beans and continue to cook uncovered for approx. 3 min. Drain in a colander and leave to steam off.

Combine the pasta and beans with the rest of the ingredients. Arrange in a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve the pasta salad with chicken and bread.
