This is a fabulous recipe which is very quick to put together and even quicker to eat! It's been in the recipe folder on my computer for a while so I can't remember where it originally came from. I have actually added a few salad leaves in the past so feel free to play around with it. Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves |
3 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves |
sea salt |
fresh ground pepper |
2 tablespoons salted peanuts |
1 lime, quartered |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons fish sauce |
1 teaspoon sesame oil or 1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons sugar |
4 small red shallots, sliced |
1 small red chile, sliced |
2 spring onions, finely sliced |
Directions:
1. Heat the grill; Brush the chicken with vegetable oil and grill until cooked through; Let it rest for five minutes and then slice thinly.
2. For the dressing, whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves; Add the sliced shallots, chilli and spring onions and toss together.
3. Tear the mint and coriander leaves and lightly toss with the chicken, salt and pepper.
4. At the last minute, add the dressing to the chicken and toss lightly; Arrange it on plates, scatter with peanuts and serve with lime wedges.
