My Favourite Chicken Salad

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to eat a little healthier recently and this yummy salad has been one of my go to recipes, so I thought I'd share it with you.

 

 

Ingredients

 

Dressing

- 2 Teaspoons of Olive Oil

- 2 Teaspoons of Balsamic Vinegar

- 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Mixed Herbs

- Half a Grated Garlic Clove

- Salt and Pepper

 

Salad

- 2 Handfuls of Shredded Iceberg Lettuce

- Chunk of Cucumber, diced

- Half a Red Onion, diced

- 1/4 Red Pepper, diced

- Half an Avocado, diced

- Handful of Tinned Sweetcorn

- Small Carrot, shaved with a peeler

- Sprig of Basil Leaves

- 1 Tomato, diced

- 5(ish) Black Olives, halved

 

Chicken

- Large Raw Chicken Breast

- Teaspoon Dried Mixed Herbs

- Salt and Pepper

- Teaspoon of Olive Oil

 

Method

 

- Coat the chicken in the herbs, salt, pepper and herbs, then pan fried in a non stick frying pan. Let the chicken get nice and golden on the side touching the pan before turning.

- Cook for around 15 minutes, until cooked through.

- Put the chicken on a plate to rest, while you make the rest of the salad.

- Start by making your dressing, I like to make it in the bowl that I'm going to eat the salad from.

- Mix all the the ingredients together and taste it to make sure it's seasoned enough.

- Place all your vegetables in the bowl with the dressing and toss it all together to coat everything with the dressing. Add a little seasoning now to make sure it's really tasty.

- Then slice the chicken, place on top of the salad and serve!
