Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp oil
- 4 tbsp sesame seeds
- salt to taste
For the salad
- 4 cups cabbage shredded
- 2 carrots julienned
- 6 radishes thinly slices
- 1 cup flaked almonds
- 1 cup spring onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup coriander/cilantro
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Halve chicken breasts horizontally, so you are left with thin cutlets. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Place sesame seeds onto a plate then press the chicken into the sesame seeds, making sure the chicken is covered. Season generously with salt.
- Cook the chicken in a splash of oil in a hot pan until golden brown on both sides and cooked through (2-3 minutes per side). Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Whisk together oil, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, salt, pepper and sesame seeds and set aside.
- Shred the cabbage, julienne (or grate) the carrots and thinly slice the spring onions and radishes.
- Combine in a large bowl with the almonds and coriander/cilantro. Pour over half of the dressing and toss well.
- Slice the chicken and serve on the cabbage salad with the remaining dressing.
