Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 200 grams chicken breast cut into strips
  • 1 cup quinoa flakes (or use our breadcrumb recipe)
  • 1/2 cup poppy seeds or sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated (or finely grated cheddar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (for egg wash)
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • butter (for shallow frying)
Salad
  • 20 grams birdseye chillies finely sliced
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 75 grams onion, red finely sliced
  • 200 grams leafy greens of your choice (baby spinach or roquette are great with this)
  • 250 grams cherry tomatoes halved
  • 30 grams pine nuts
  • 100 grams sweet potato peeled and cubed

Method
 

  1. Create egg wash using 2 whole eggs and milk.
  2. Dip strips of chicken into egg wash and then coat in quinoa, poppy seed, parmesan, salt and pepper crumb mixture, ensuring chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Heat pan to medium temperature with butter and crushed garlic.
  4. Once pan has heated, place strips flat and allow to cook on each side. To ensure they are cooked, pierce the chicken with a knife, if the fluid runs clear, it is cooked.
  5. Leave the pan on and allow the chicken to rest as you prepare salad.
  6. Par cook the sweet potato (steaming is preferable, though able to be boiled).
  7. Once partly cooked, transfer to pan and continue to cook on mid temperature, stirring occasionally until golden. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  8. Arrange leafy greens on plates to create a bed for the dish.
  9. Roughly sprinkle on the red onion and cherry tomatoes.
  10. Place sliced avocado on top.
  11. Toss on sweet potato cubes.
  12. Place chicken strips on top and sprinkle with sliced chilli and pine nuts.
  13. Serve with a side of mayonnaise or zesty salad dressing.
