Step 1: You will need...

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 80 ml olive oil
  • 1/2 a lemon
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 bunch of flat leaf parsley
  • 1 bunch of mint leaves
  • 40 g pistachio nuts
  • 1/2 a red onion
  • 1 grapefruit
  • 250 ml plain yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 cling film
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 flat dish
  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 bowl
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 mixing bowl

Step 2: Prepare the chicken

Slice each breast into three escallops. Cover the chopping board with cling film. Place a chicken escallop onto the cling film and cover with another piece. Flatten with a rolling pin until it is five mm thick and put the escallops into a flat dish.

Step 3: Marinate the chicken

Pour over half the olive oil and distribute the lemon slices amongst the escallops. Season with pepper and leave to marinate for thirty minutes.

Step 4: Cook the chicken

Place the frying pan on a high heat and leave for two minutes. Put the escallops into the frying pan and season with salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown then turn over and cook for another two to three minutes. Remove from the pan.

Step 5: Make the yoghurt dressing

Into the bowl add the yoghurt, the olive oil, and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix together.

Step 6: Mix ingredients together

Into another bowl, add the parsley, mint, pistachios, onion, the grapefruit segments, and the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix together.

Step 7: Serve

Place some salad into a bowl and add the chicken escallops. Garnish with some mint leaves and place the yoghurt dressing on the side.
