Recipes
Grilled Chicken Breast with Rocket Salad
SERVES 4
• 4 chicken breast fillets
• 4 tablespoons bottled teriyaki sauce
• Freshly ground coarse black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 packet / 200g rocket leaves (or spinach), well washed, and dried
• 20 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• 1 tablespoon honey
DIRECTIONS
- Take 1 piece of chicken, place between 2 sheets of cling film and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until the breast is about 4mm thick. Repeat with the other chicken breast fillets.
- Brush fillets with the teriyaki sauce and season with black pepper. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- In a hot non-stick grill pan, drizzle the canola oil and cook each side of the chicken for about 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Place each fillet on a plate and put a big handful of rocket leaves and cherry tomatoes in the middle of the fillet. Drizzle some honey over the dish and pour the remaining juices from the pan on to the fillet. Serve immediately.
Other Notes:
An ordinary non-stick pan can be used, if you don’t have a grill pan. But, for an ordinary pan, the juice from the chicken will accumulate in the pan and end up ‘stewing’ your fillets, if you don’t pour them away (into a bowl) regularly. Return the juices to the pan once you have removed the chicken to reduce a little, and then pour the juices on to the fillet and salad before serving. A grill pan has grooves, which will allow the juices to drain away from your fillets.

Turned my life upside down. From a focused and down-to-earthperson, I became someone lacking in confident, confused and full of emotions. I hated theword “Strong”. “Be strong”, “Stay strong”, “You are strong”, “Thought you are strong”, blah,blah…. Never an easy journey!!But when you trust, submit and be a true slave to the only ONE, things will get easier. Seekhelp. Make authentic decision for yourself and no one else. Never give up HOPE!! Rose
