Grilled Chicken Salad

Method

Method

  • Mix all the marinade (except paprika) ingredients in a bowl and set aside

  • Place chicken in bowl and pour half of mixed marinade dressing over it and set aside the other half in fridge to be used later.

  • Sprinkle paprika and salt over chicken and rub mixture in, there's no set way to marinade chicken, you can add spices as you like, I like spicy so I add a little bit of black pepper. Cover chicken and place in fridge for 10 minutes.

  • While waiting for the chicken, chop up cucumber, tomatoes, avocado and olives and mix in a large salad bowl.

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil, add chopped onions and 1 clove of minced garlic and sauce until brown, remove and drain out oil. Add onions to the salad ingredients in bowl.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat and grill chicken on both sides until chicken is completely cooked and browned.

  • Toss on feta cheese (Optional)
