Let's Cook

Step 1.
Heat a griddle pan over high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, brush the chicken fillets with ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Lay the chicken in the hot griddle, then reduce the heat to medium. Griddle for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (no pink inside).

Step 2.
While the chicken cooks, place the basil leaves, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a good pinch of salt and pepper into a mini food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, then pour the basil oil into a serving bowl.

Step 3.
Gently crush the fennel seeds with the back of a knife or using a mortar and pestle. Add the crushed fennel seeds to the serving bowl with the basil oil. Add the sweet chilli sauce and lime juice, and mix well.
