Chicken Caprese Salad

Ingredients

Serves 1

• 130g skinless chicken breast
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp mixed dried herbs
• 1 1/2 tsp olive oil
• 40g mozzarella pearls
• 2 large handfuls mixed salad leaves
• 1/2 small bunch basil, leaves torn
• 60g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 25g croutons
• 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.

Tip

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