Ingredients
- 750g pack Co-op Baby Potatoes, scrubbed and halved if large
- 170g pack Co-op Fine Green Beans
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- 1½ tbsp sunflower oil
- 580g pack Co-op British Chicken Breast Fillets, cut into 2cm strips
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 80g green or black olives
- 2 salad onions sliced
- ½ x 115g bag Co-op Babyleaf Salad
Method
-
- Put the potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water and cook for 12-15 mins until tender, adding the green beans for the final 5 mins of cooking time.
- Meanwhile mix the lemon zest and dried thyme in a dish with plenty of salt and pepper. Run the mixture over the chopped pieces of chicken. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and add the chicken and cook for 6-8 mins (3-4 mins on each side) until golden and cooked through. You may have to do this in batches.
- Drain the potatoes and beans, then, while still warm, toss with lemon juice, olive oil and olives and season. Put the salad leaves in a bowl or on a platter and tumble with the potatoes and beans. Top with the cooked chicken and sliced spring onion, plus a drizzle more oil, if liked.
