Are you pregnant and everyone's is telling you to abstain from your favourite foods?

Pregnancy-friendly recipes will make that nine-month stretch a bit more palatable. Remember – it's as much about including foods that can be beneficial to your baby as it is avoiding foods that may be harmful.

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 40g/1½oz shelled hazelnuts
- 25g/1oz parmesan, freshly grated, plus extra for serving
- 2 lemons, zested then cut in half
- 2 sprigs thyme, leaves only
- 40g/1½oz Japanese panko breadcrumbs
- 75g/3oz plain flour
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 free-range eggs, beaten
- 250g/9oz butter
- 2 heads Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated

Method
1. Put the chicken between two pieces of greaseproof paper and flatten using a rolling pin until about 1cm/1in thick.

2. Put the hazelnuts, parmesan, lemon zest and thyme into a food processor and blend to fine crumbs.

3. Add the breadcrumbs and pulse quickly to just break up the crumbs, then tip out onto a plate.

4. Scatter the flour onto a plate and season with salt and black pepper. Dust the chicken in the flour.

5. Put the beaten eggs in a bowl. Dip the chicken into the egg, then into the hazelnut breadcrumbs, making sure to coat each side thoroughly.

6. Heat the butter in a large frying pan, add the chicken breasts and fry until golden-brown - about five minutes on each side - basting with the butter as you go.

7. Drain onto kitchen paper and then finish with a little more parmesan cheese.

8. To serve, lay the chicken escalope on each plate and drizzle over all the remaining butter in the frying pan, then finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

9. Pile the salad leaves alongside with a wedge of lemon.
