Sweet & Spicy chicken salad
Chicken pieces marinated in honey, soy, chilli & lemon with lambs lettuce and rocket salad
Difficulty and servings
Serves 2
Preparation and cooking times
plus 30 minutes marinating time and 5 minutes cooling time
- Finely dice the onion and mix with the oil and the other marinade ingredients
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite size chunks
- Add the chicken to the marinade and leave for 30 minutes or longer (can be done the day before with frozen chicken which will then defrost soaking up the marinade)
- assemble the salad on 2 plates, a little of each bag
- shallow fry the chicken pieces for 10 minutes - no extra oil necessary, or grill the ckicken in an oven dish turning over the pieces midway, until the marinade has thickened. Add a little water to thin if necessary. Enough fluid marinade has to be left as a dressing and the chicken should have a brown glaze.
- Leave to cool for 5 minutes, drape the pieces over the salad and finsih off by spooning over the liquids from the pan / oven dish as a dressing
- same recipe can be used for chicken wings, part cooked in the oven and finished on the BBQ or to be eaten cold as a snack
