April 8, 2009 chicken & game, mains, salad

Quick and easy. Sorry about the picture. I’d already eaten most of my dinner when I realized it was so good that I should do an entry!

Serves: 1 or more
Prep: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min

Ingredients:
1 chicken breast ( you won’t need all of this but may as well cook it)
1 large mushroom
½ Spanish onion
1 ½ handful of rocket
½ handful of oregano
1 garlic clove
1 small red chili
Lemon myrtle infused olive oil
½ lemon
Grated halloumi to serve

1. Cut the chicken into strips and marinate in the finely chopped chili and finely chopped oregano with a lug of lemon myrtle olive oil and a teeny bit of that lemon as we need most of it in the dressing. Leave for half an hour
2. In a seperate hot pan begin to cook the chicken pieces until nice and brown
3. In the mean time, begin to cook the mushrooms. Slice them and throw into the pan with plenty of olive oil. Once half way through cooking add the onion and garlic continue to cook until just golden on each side on a medium heat.
4. In a bowl combine rocket the remaining juice of the lemon
5. Combine the cooked mushroom and chicken with the rocket. This will wilt it a little. Stir to combine and garnish with halloumi and pepper.
