preparation

Chicken salad

1. Heat a grill pan until nice and hot – about 4 min. over a high heat.

2. Sear the chicken fillets for about 1 min. on each side. Then reduce to a medium heat, and cook for approx. 10 min. – turning occasionally.

3. Shred the cooked chicken using 2 forks and sprinkle with salt – if the chicken isn’t cooked through, you can give the shredded meat another 1-2 min. in the grill pan.

Garlic bread

4. Cut the pittas in half and stuff them with approx. 125g of the cheese.

5. Place the pittas on a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for approx. 5 min. at 225°C.

6. Remove from the oven and rub each pitta with garlic.

7. Sprinkle the pittas with the rest of the cheese, salt and pepper and bake for another 5 min. at 225°C.
