Total Time:

Ingredients:
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 x 400g cans brown lentils, drained, rinsed
  • 20.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 80g baby spinach leaves
  • 650g chicken breast fillets, trimmed
  • 125.00 ml reduced-fat tzatziki dip, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 teaspoons of oil. Add onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until tender. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add lentils and red wine vinegar, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. Transfer to a large bowl, mix in spinach, and season with pepper.
  • After cooking the chicken, wipe the frying pan clean with a paper towel. Next, add the remaining oil and heat the pan over medium-high heat. Then, place the chicken in the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until just cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it stand for 3 minutes before serving.
  • Slice the chicken into thick pieces, then combine with the lentil mixture and toss together. Spoon the salad into serving bowls and enjoy with a side of tzatziki.
