Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 small chicken breast (around 120g / 4.2oz)
- 50g / 1.75oz blueberries
- 20g / 0.7oz walnuts
- 1/2 red apple, diced (around 50g / 1.75oz)
- 1 stick celery (around 60g / 2.1 oz)
- 30g / 1oz feta
- large handful of baby spinach, rocket (arugula) or other lettuce leaves
Dressing
- 2 tbsp low-fat natural yogurt
- 5–6 chives, finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breast dry and rub a few drops of the olive oil into the flesh and season well. Add the remaining olive oil into a frying pan/skillet over medium-high heat. When hot add the chicken breast and cook for 12 minutes, turning every 4 minutes. If it’s a thicker breast it may need a little longer.
- Leave the cooked chicken breast to rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the rest of the salad. Prepare all ingredients as described and whisk the dressing ingredients together until you have a smooth texture.
- Add all the ingredients apart from the chicken breast into a bowl. Mix together until everything is coated with the dressing. Pile onto a plate.
- Slice the chicken breast and arrange on top of the salad.
Notes
- You can bake or poach the chicken breast if you want to avoid using the oil
- Use a good quality red wine vinegar – or you can omit it if you prefer also
- While the red apple adds a nice sweetness to the dish, you can add green apple instead for a tarter taste.
