Chicken salad with a twist

 
I know it's been a while since my last post. And I have no excuse. But my passion for cooking is still there and I hope I will spread it to all of you.
Today on the menu was Chicken salad with the twist. I will not be myself if I would not change classic recipe into my own one hehe. I hope you will try it and love it!
 
 

Ingredients:

(for 1 person)
  • 1 medium chicken breast
  • mix of salad
  • 1/4 of red pepper
  • few (3-4) slices of red onion
  • few (4-5) slices of cucumber
  • tbs of sunflower seeds
  • one slice of bread (cut into small chunks)
  • 2 tbs of hummus
  • few spoons of sweet chilli sauce (its up to you how much you like on your chicken, I used around 1,5 tbs)
  • olive oil

For chicken marinade:

  • 3 tbs of natural yoghurt
  • 1 tsp of ketchup
  • 1 clove of garlic (crushed)
  • salt, pepper
 

Preparation:

  1. At first start from marinating chicken. Leave it for at least 1 hour.
  2. Then cut bread slice into chunks. Place them into oven tray, together with slice of red pepper and sunflower seeds, drizzle everything with olive oil. Place in the oven for 180 C until golden brown.
     
  3. Place chicken on another oven tray and put it together in the oven with bread chunks. Bake for around 20-25min. (It depends how big is your chicken breast). Good tip on your chicken: If you stick fork into your meat and there is no juice coming out then you know its ready. If you still not sure you can just cut it in the middle and then you know. When everything is ready slice the chicken and red pepper.
                
  4. Mix salad with onions and cucumber and add a little bit of olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix together everything.
  5. Then place red pepper on top of the salad mix. and sliced chicken on the side. Pour sweet chilli sauce on top of the chicken breast.
  6. Add 2 tbs of hummus on the side.
  7. And sprinkle sunflower seeds and toasted bread chunks on top of everything and enjoy!
