  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

  2. Season the chicken breast with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  4. When the butter is foaming add the chicken and fry, turning once, until golden-brown on both sides.

  5. Transfer to the oven to roast for 10-12 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest in a warm place for five minutes.

  7. Dust the plantain with cinnamon and place into the frying pan to fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden and tender.

  8. To serve, place the wilted garlic stem onto one side of the plate. Place the plantain in the centre of the plate. Drizzle with hoi sin sauce.
