Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 1 lbs chicken breast or chicken tenderloins sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced (or 2 teaspoons minced garlic)
- 2 teaspoons vegetable stock powder
- ¼ cup Sweet Chilli sauce (sugar free is fine)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- Salt to season
Salad
- 1.8 oz packet organic Haloumi cheese (salt reduced), cut into strips
- 1 punnet grape or cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 bunches baby cos lettuce washed and shredded
- 1 avocado sliced
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons garlic olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar
- Salt to season
- Lime wedges (to serve)
Instructions
- Whisk all chicken marinade ingredients together in a bowl until combined. Add chicken and set aside for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator (or over night for extra flavour). Alternatively, cook without marinading.
- In a large frying pan/skillet, fry the marinaded chicken until browned and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm. In a separate smaller pan, fry the haloumi cheese until golden on both sides (about 1 - 2 minutes each side). While cheese is cooking, combine salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl or jug until combined. Serve chicken and Haloumi over prepared salad leaves, tomatoes and avocado slices, and drizzle with the salad dressing.
