Golden chicken domes on a Greenland landscape: a winning plate celebrating the missile shield agreement.

Golden-brown chicken fillets, stacked as rocket domes, on a Greenland landscape of creamy mashed potatoes and green vegetables. The silhouette of the iconic Golden Dome missile shield is instantly recognizable. A winning plate referencing the US base and missile installation agreement on Greenland.

Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g flour
  • 100 g panko or breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 kg starchy potatoes
  • 100 ml milk
  • 50 g butter
  • 300 g green beans
  • 200 g green peas (frozen)
  • 1 bunch chives
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil

Method

  1. Peel and boil the potatoes for 20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
  2. Trim the green beans and cook for 8 minutes until just tender. Add the peas for the last 2 minutes.
  3. Cut the chicken breasts into thick, oval pieces (dome shape).
  4. Beat the eggs. Dredge the chicken in flour, then egg, then panko mixed with paprika powder.
  5. Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Fry the chicken domes for 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. On each plate, spread a wide strip of mashed potatoes as the 'landscape'. Arrange three chicken domes diagonally in the center to resemble the Golden Dome missile shields.
  7. Scatter the green beans and peas around as Greenlandic greenery. Cut chives into stalks and stick them into the domes as antennas.

Serving notes

  • Serve with extra chive stalks for a 'radar wire' effect.
  • Drizzle some olive oil over the mash for shine.
