serving

1 serving
  • 130g skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp mixed dried herbs
  • 1½ tsp olive oil
  • 40g mozzarella pearls
  • 2 handfuls mixed salad leaves
  • ½ small bunch basil, leaves torn
  • 60g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 25g croutons
  • 1½ tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze

Method

Marinate the chicken in the vinegar, garlic powder and mixed herbs for 15 minutes (or longer if you have time).

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and fry for around 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Set aside to rest before slicing.

Toss the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl or a lunchbox. Add the sliced chicken and finish with the balsamic glaze.

Tips

If you’re making this to have as a packed lunch, leave the chicken to cool completely before adding to your box of salad.
