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.
