  1. Peel and grate 1 carrot. Peel and finely slice 1 brown onion. Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. Drain and rinse 400 g cannellini beans. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot on medium-high heat. Cook the onion and carrot for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Coat the chicken in the cornflour, dip it into the egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture firmly to coat.
