Ingredient List:

400g chicken tenderloin fillets.

100g Rocket lettuce (washed).

100g block of Parmesan cheese (shaved).

1x large orange peeled and separated into wedges.

1x fennel plant.

Cracked pepper.

50ml Olive oil.

1x Lemon juiced.

1/2x tablespoon of runny honey.

 

Method:

Grill the chicken tenderloins until brown on both sides. Coat with honey by drizzling with a spoon and allow to stand for 2 mins. Cut the chicken into bite size pieces. 

Separate the fennel plant into layers and cut into finger sized pieces. Keep the fennel top as a garnish.

In a large serving bowl toss fennel together with rocket lettuces, orange pieces, Parmesan cheese, green olives, green capers and pine nuts to form the base of the salad.

Add chicken pieces.

Create salad dressing by mixing olive oil, the juice of the lemon, and honey. Drizzle the mix over the salad.

Season salad with cracked pepper and garnish with fennel top.

 

Perfect for a Autumn lunch paired with Lazy Ballerina's new Grenache Rosé. Take a long lunch and enjoy.
