Indulge in succulent lemon chicken and olive salad for a delicious dinner option.
Ingredients:
  • 3 chicken breast fillets, trimmed
  • 1 large lemon, sliced
  • 1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 100g pitted kalamata olives, chopped (see note)
  • 125.00 ml basil leaves, roughly torn
  • baby salad leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, add chicken fillets and cover with cold water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-low heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
  • Separate chicken from liquid, saving 1/4 cup. Shred chicken.
  • Simmer lemon slices in boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and chop lemon peel and pulp, removing seeds.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, poaching liquid, lemon, onion, olives, basil, and salad leaves. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
