Warm chicken salad

Just about time to get a salad meal in before the warm(ish) weather leaves us for a while!
Ingredients

  • 1 clove of garlic
  • half and inch fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 fillets of chicken 
  • mixed salad & herb leaves : lettuce, rocket, spinach, parsley etc
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 sml courgette
  • sml red pepper
  • 30mls olive oil, 10mls lemon/lime juice, salt & pepper
Method
  1. Grate the carrot and courgette and add to the washed & dried mixed leaves. 
  2. Thinly slice the pepper, add to the other veg along with the olive oil and freshly squeezed juice, mix well.
  3. Cut the chicken into bite size portions and place in a bowl, add crushed garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, sesame seeds, salt & pepper and mix evenly.
  4. Heat some oil in a wok or frying pan, add the chicken to this and cook turning constantly on a relatively  high heat (3) for about 10mins. To check if it's done cut the largest piece in half and if there is no pink colour it's done.
  5. Serve with the warm chicken on top of the leaves and with crusty bread, baked potato or rice.
Let me know how you get on.....
