Course Salad
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 4 cups watercress
  • 1/2 apple thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fennel thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fennel fronds
  • 1/2 small shallot thinly sliced
  • 2 chicken breasts

Dressing

  • 3/4 tsp ground turmeric or 1 tsp fresh grated
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Wrap the chicken well in plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until chicken is the same width all the way across - around 1". THis will allow it to cook quickly and evenly. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then place on the hot grill pan. Cook for around 6-8 minutes, until chicken is golden brown and then flip and cook on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  • While the chicken is cooking, make the dressing and assemble the salad. In a small bowl whisk together the turmeric, garlic, honey, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Set aside. In a large bowl toss together the watercress, apple, fennel, and shallots. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  • When the chicken has finished cooking. Rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board and then sice and place atop the salad.
