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.

I’M A SURVIVOR My name is Andi and I'm a cancer survivor.Back in 2004 when I was 16 yo, I was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma, it was at the right side of my buttock. Surgery, radiation and also chemotherapy was done at that time. Then in 2009 it relapsed around the same area. In 2022 it relapsed on my right thigh, and again in 2024 it relapsed this time on my left thigh with different type of cancer. Be thankful to GOD, and always believe that He is able to heal us and help us. Andi IN MEMORY OF she touched our lives with her kindness, and no nonsence personality, she will be and is already greatly missed. Karri Hammond IN MEMORY OF Papa, although you’ve passed on 7 years you are still fondly remembered. You’ve taught me many things eg being brave to drive on the road when I got my driving licence and keeping the family together especially during your last stage of life. The many weekends and days that we spent visiting you at the hospice and nursing home helped to bring our family closer. Appreciating family relationships and a good bonding time for all of us. May you be well and happy. 🌷 Papa Chua CT IN MEMORY OF Thanks for all the memories! You are a warrior! IN HONOUR OF You fought hard my dear. You did well! Nicole I’M A SURVIVOR Diagnosed breast cancer in 2010, mastectomy was done, undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy and also oral. Lucky to have so many friends and family members around me, who gave me so much hope and encouragement.

Stay happy and positive. Patricia Tham Lai Kuan IN MEMORY OF Those we have lost IN HONOUR OF All Survivors. Continue the fight! IN HONOUR OF Jamilah A. I’M A SURVIVOR Cancer very disruptive!! 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
