Directions

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 Simply Better Irish Corn Fed Chicken Breast Fillets
  • 2 Heads of Baby Gem Lettuce, separated into leaves and roughly cut
  • Mixed salad leaves

For the Marinade:

  • 1 Tbsp Simply Better Irish Made Soy & Ginger Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Simply Better Irish Made Sweet Chilli Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Simply Better Spanish Orange Blossom Honey
  • 1 Garlic Clove, crushed
  • Zest and Juice of ½ Lime

For the Italian Pepper Dressing:

  • 4 Tbsp Simply Better Cold Pressed Irish Rapeseed Oil
  • 2 Simply Better Italian Grilled Peppers, finely diced
  • 1 Small Red Onion, finely diced
  • 1 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
  • Finely Grated Rind and Juice of ½ Lemon
  • 2 Tsp Caster Sugar
  • 12 Cherry Tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 Tsp Chopped Fresh Basil
  • Sea Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper

METHOD

  1. For the marinade, place the soy sauce in a shallow non-metallic dish with the honey, sweet chilli sauce, garlic, lime zest and juice and mix well to combine. Cut the chicken breasts into strips and place them in the dish, turning to coat. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight if time allows.
  2. For the Italian pepper dressing, heat 2 tbsp of rapeseed oil in a small pan and gently fry the onion and grilled pepper for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in the remaining rapeseed oil and vinegar, then add the lemon rind, sugar and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until bubbling and warmed through. Season to taste and stir in the basil. Keep warm.
  4. Preheat a griddle pan until smoking. Add some rapeseed oil and place the chicken on the griddle pan and season with salt & pepper. After 2-3 minutes reduce the heat to medium and pour over some extra marinade. Cook the chicken strips for a total of 8-10 minutes until cooked through. If the marinade is beginning to catch and burn add in 2 tablespoons of cold water.
  5. To serve, arrange the lettuce leaves around large bowls or plates, scatter the chicken over the salad and drizzle with enough of the Italian pepper dressing to nicely coat.
