Tropical Chicken Salad

Hey guys, I have another great meal for this Carnival season. This time it’s a salad but not just any salad. It’s filled with both vegetables and fruits and yes there is chicken!
The dish is very unique because in the salad there are little bits of Portugal bursting throughout with flavour. A simple citrus vignette is the perfect match to this delicious salad and all that protein from the chicken is just what you need to help fill you up. Trust me when I say if you are not a “salad person” after trying this one you will become “salad person”

I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken breast
  • 1 medium red onion

Method

  • After 3-5 minutes turn over the chicken allowing it to cook on the next side. After its finished cooking set on a plate and allow it to rest. Note 🙁 10-15 minutes should be sufficient for the entire chicken to cook. Depends on the size of the chicken. )
  • Peel the Portugal, cut the centre and take out the pulp. Note: (See video on how to remove the pulp and save the Portugal juice for later.)
