Blackened Chicken Salad




Serves 2
Takes 35 mins (Mainly marinating)

Shopping List 

Cajun spice 
1 Heaped Tea Spoon tomato Paste 
1 Lemon Juice
1 Table Spoon Olive Oil 
2 Chicken Breasts
Pomegranate Seeds
Pine Nuts
Balsamic Glaze (I use it all the time)


Step By Step 

1. 1 Tea Spoon tomato Paste, 1 Table spoon Cajun 
 2. Juice one lemon, Add the Olive Oil and mix till a paste.
 3. Pop your chicken in, over the next 20 mins keep turning and spooning over.
 4. When your bored of watching, after around 20 mins heat a griddle pan, slap in the chicken.
 5. Don't touch or turn chicken untill its blackened on one side. Turn.
 6. In a large salad bowl mix Green Leaves, Pomegranate, Pine nuts and a drizzle of Olive oil. ( I add a touch parmesan shavings because i had some in the fridge)
7. When chicken in black, turn off heat and make sure it is cooked all the way through!

 8. Rest for 5 mins on the chopping board. The burn isn't burn, its the tomato paste, it has a great flavour!
 9. Slice, revealing the delicious white meat.
10. Add chicken to the salad and mix it all around. The cajun oily taste on the salad is unreal. I serve in a large bowl with a squiggle of Balsamic Glaze.
