Ingredients

  • 650 g chicken breasts (£3.40)
  • 2 romaine lettuces (£1.00)
  • 1 bag of carrots (£0.33)
  • 1 cucumber (£0.60)
  • 1 bunch of fresh coriander (£0.50)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Chilli flakes

Instructions

  • Start by slicing the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces across the breast, to get skinny slices.
  • If you have time, marinate the chicken in 2 tbsp of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, drizzle of honey and a 1 tbsp of olive oil. (You can marinade for 1 hour or overnight if you have time).
  • Add your soy chicken to a frying pan on a high heat. Rotate after 3 minutes and cook the other side for the equivalent amount of time. As you have sliced them into thin pieces, this reduces cooking time/ drying out chicken time.
  • Set the cooked chicken aside whilst you prep your salad elements by chopping the washed lettuce, slicing the cucumber and peeling the carrot with a serrated peeler to get skinny match-stick pieces.
  • When you’re ready to eat – toss your salad in some of the Asian dressing (4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp of honey) along with the chicken you’ve prepped. Garnish with some fresh coriander and chilli flakes. So fresh and vibrant mmmm.
