If you're struggling to think of what to cook for dinner this weekend, how about this stupidly yummy and healthy cajun chicken and salad? Read on for the recipe..
For the chicken:
• a good pinch of salt & pepper
• 1 tbsp cajun seasoning
• a pinch of dried thyme
• a handful of sesame seeds
• a handful of polenta
• strips of chicken breast (about 400g for 2 people)
• a little olive oil
• heat a frying pan over a high heat, and add a little oil
• put the seasoning, sesame seeds & polenta on a large piece of greaseproof paper, add the chicken, fold the paper in half and bash the chicken until about 1cm thick
• fry the chicken until cooked through & a little crispy on the outside
For the dressing:
• juice of 1/2 a lemon
• 2 tsp honey
• 2 crushed garlic cloves
• a handful of chopped coriander
• a glug of olive oil
• while the chicken is cooking, mix all the dressing ingredients in a clean jar & shake
And the rest:
• cous cous
• a vegetable stock cube dissolved in 1 pint boiling water
• salady stuff (we used baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, red pepper & avocado)
• a few spring onions
• add cous cous to the stock & leave for 5 minutes to cook
• prepare your desired salad and arrange on the plate with some cous cous
• remove chicken from the frying pan & place on top of the cous cous
• add some chopped spring onions to the same pan, cook for 1-2 minutes and serve
Let me know if you cook this over the weekend, and tell me what you thought of it!
