Instructions
- Begin by making the marinade for the chicken. Whisk together all of the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Pat your chicken breasts dry and trim any fatty bits from them, discarding. Place them one at a time into a zip lock baggie and pound them gently with a rolling pin until they are about 1/3 of an inch thick. Place them into a non-reactive container. Pour ¼ cup of the marinade mixture into the container, turning the chicken around to coat it well with the mixture. Reserve the remaining marinade for later. Cover the chicken and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or up to 8.
- When you are ready to make the salad, bring the chicken to room temperature. Preheat your grill to high. Add your chicken breasts, discarding any of the marinade left in the bowl. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes on one side, then for 5 to 7 more on the other side. Remove from the grill, brush with some of the reserved marinade and leave to sit covered loosely with tinfoil while you put together the remainder of the salad.
- Prepare your salad vegetables and arrange them attractively in each of 4 individual pasta bowls.
- Put all of your dressing ingredients into a mini blender and blitz together until smooth.
- Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it over top of your salad vegetables in the bowls. Drizzle each with a portion of the dressing and garnish as desired. Serve immediately.
