Ingredients
Cutlets:
- 80 g chicken breasts
- 1 small egg
- 1 tablespoon milk (for triple coating)
- 25 g chickpea flour
- 25 g corn crumbs (gluten-free, Extrudo brand)
- 3 ml spray oil
- Salt, pepper
Salad:
- 1 handful of fresh spinach leaves
- 30 g pomegranate (or blueberries)
- 10 g sunflower seeds
- 100 g boiled potatoes (sliced)
- Lemon dressing (10 ml olive oil, juice of 1/3 lemon, 1 tsp chicory syrup, salt, pepper)
Yogurt dip:
- 50 g yoghurt (e.g. Alpro natur sugar-free or classic white cream)
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
Method
- Preparation of the cutlets: cut the chicken breasts into thin slices, dry them well and salt them on both sides. Coat first in a mixture of egg and milk, then in chickpea flour and finally in corn crumbs. Drizzle lightly with oil spray and bake in a deep fryer until golden brown (at 175 degrees for about 18 minutes).
- Salad preparation: arrange the spinach leaves on a plate, add the cooked sliced potatoes, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and pomegranate seeds. For more flavour, you can roast the potato slices in a pan.
- Dressing: combine olive oil, lemon juice, chicory syrup, salt and pepper and mix well. Pour the dressing over the salad.
- Yoghurt dip: mix yoghurt with crushed garlic, salt and pepper.
- To assemble the salad: place the cutlets on the prepared salad bowl and serve with the yoghurt dip.
Tips and tricks
○ Preparation of ingredients in advance: All vegetables, fruits and seeds can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge, making it easier to assemble the salad when serving.
○ Ingredient Variations and Dressings: In addition to lemon dressing, you can experiment with balsamic syrup or mustard-based dressing for more zest. You can swap sunflower seeds for walnuts and pomegranate seeds for fresh blueberries, for example.
