Rebecca's Chicken Salad
Here's a fun salad I came up with recently, its a combination of cuisines, grilled chicken, seasonal salad and Greek style roast potatoes.
Ingredients:
- about 10 small potatoes diced
- olive oil
- one tablespoon of Greek or Italian herbs, also fresh oregano if handy
- 4 cloves of garlic chopped
- a sprinkle of sea salt
- 2 thinly sliced chicken breasts - marinated in pizza seasoning - a herb blend of onion, bell pepper, fennel, garlic, basil, chili pepper, parsley, marjoram and celery
- chopped tomatoes
- a small handful of blueberries
- mixed greens
- chopped cucumber
Method:
- marinate the chicken breast in olive oil to coat it and the pizza seasoning for 1- 2 hours
- meanwhile add the chopped potatoes to a good oven dish coat with olive oil, pepper and sea salt the Greek herbs and oregano and bake at 400 degrees for 45- minutes to 60 minutes until soft in middle and crispy on outside
- after the chicken is marinated grill for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked
- make a seasonal salad of choice, add some potatoes to it, you will find it will have enough oil with the herbs infused that a dressing is not needed
- slice the chicken and top the salad with it
- if desired add any desired cheese to the top and enjoy ;-)
