Asian Delight! Tea Smoked Chicken Orange Salad!

Hey from EL The Cook!

Oriental Salads are super fresh and super quick! Our smoked tea infused chicken when paired with the flavours of the orient result in mind-blowing flavours..

This salad is perfect for a quick supper or a refreshing lunch snack. Our smoked chicken recipe which you can find here can be done a day before and then tossed in with the salad.

You can also use char-grilled or barbecue chicken which will go spectacularly with this recipe!

INGREDIENTS: (Serves 2)

(Cook Time : 10 minutes)

• 2 tea smoked chicken breasts 
• 1 medium orange, sliced
• 80g lettuce leaves, torn
• 1 spring onion, very finely sliced on a steep diagonal
• Pinch of roasted sesame seeds 
• Salt and pepper for seasoning

Dressing:

• 1 tsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp orange juice
• 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil 

KITCHEN EQUIPMENT:

• Large bowl
• Chefs knife
• Cutting board
• Serving Plates

METHOD:

• Slice the chicken, on the diagonal into slices about 3-4mm thick. If you're not using our tea-infused smoked chicken, and you're cooking your own chicken, you could always marinade in a tbsp each of dark soy sauce and honey before grilling to give it some flavour and colour.

• Whisk the dressing ingredients together, then toss the leaves in it immediately before serving. Divide the leaves between two plates (or four for starter portions), then top with the orange & chicken and scatter with the sliced spring onions, toasted sesame seeds and enjoy!
