Dressing
1 clove | Garlic, crushed |
1 tsp | Dijon mustard |
2 Tbsp | Red wine vinegar |
1 tsp | Lemon juice |
½ cup | Extra virgin olive oil |
1 | Free-range egg |
1 tsp | Flaky sea salt |
1 pinch | Freshly ground black pepper |
Salad
2 | Free-range chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into strips (about 5cm long x 2.5cm wide) (Main) |
2 Tbsp | Olive oil |
16 | Baby new potatoes, scrubbed and boiled in lightly salted water until tender (Main) |

1 | Cos lettuce, washed, dried and leaves separated (Main) |
1 handful | Coriander leaves |
1 small handful | Chives, snipped |
1 small handful | Marjoram leaf, optional |
Directions
- To make the dressing, place all the ingredients in a screw top jar. Screw on the lid and shake well. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Place the chicken strips in a bowl, add the oil and season. Toss well to combine. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the chicken, in batches and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning once. This will depend on the thickness of the chicken, so I find it helpful just to cut one piece in half and take a look. Remove chicken strips to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Return the frying pan to a medium-low heat. Add the butter and as it begins to sizzle, cut the potatoes in half and drop into the pan. Cook, turning regularly until golden.
- To serve, arrange a bed of lettuce on a platter. Drizzle over a little of the dressing, then top with the chicken and potatoes. Scatter over the herbs and drizzle over enough of the remaining dressing to moisten.
