Warm Layered Chicken Salad

Make sure that you use a transparent bowl as the layers look lovely.

Dish Details:clocklow-carb


INGREDIENTS:

2-4 fresh chicken breasts
spinach
new potatoes
butter, olive oil
various green leaves (rocket works well)
1 punnet juicy cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
fresh basil and thyme leaves (to taste)
few slices German peppered salami
1 small tin of sweetcorn
1 carrot, peeled and cut into thin strips
1 cucumber, cut into thin strips

For the dressing
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp French mustard
1 freshly squeezed lime
freshly crushed ginger (to taste)
freshly crushed garlic (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper


PREPARATION:
1. Chargrill or grill the chicken breasts until done.

2. While they are cooking lightly boil the spinach in lightly salted water, and boil the potatoes until tender. When the potatoes are ready, toss them with some butter and olive oil while still warm.

3. Toss the leaves together in a separate bowl and drizzle a very small amount of olive oil just to glaze the leaves.

4. For the dressing, place all ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth.

5. Lay a bed (about 5 cm in height) of leaves in the salad bowl, not flattening them.

6. Once the chicken breasts are cooked, cut into strips.

7. Place a few strips of breast on the leaves, then lay a few halves of cherry tomatoes on top, seasoning as you go.

8. Drizzle a very small amount of dressing over the chicken breasts, then lay a few potato slices loosely on next layer.

9. Next sprinkle over a few basil and thyme leaves.

10. Continue making layers with the remaining ingredients until they are all used up. Serve with warm bread.
