Ingredients
For 4 servings

- 4 frozen Chicken breasts
- 400 g (14 oz.) peeled quartered tomatoes

Method

Making the nems

  1. Defrost the chicken breasts in the refrigerator. Slice into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cut the tomato flesh into small dice.
  3. Lightly oil the sheets of brick; in the center of each sheet, lay some chicken strips, diced tomato and a few sprigs of parsley and basil.
  4. Fold up the brick to enclose the filling tightly.
  5. Place the nems in a baking dish; place in a 210° C (425° F) oven for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the brick is crispy.

Making the croquettes

  1. Cook the potatoes and cauliflower separately; purée and combine.
  2. Mix in the beaten eggs and cheese; season with salt and pepper.
  3. Form into uniform balls; chill; bread each ball by coating with flour, then egg beaten with a few drops of water, then bread crumbs.
  4. Fry on both sides until the breading is golden brown. Serve as a side dish.
