Healthy Barbecue Chicken Salad With Citrus Fruits

My healthy barbecue chicken salad brings together succulent chicken breast with a tangy citrus marinade.There's always been plenty of recipes using chicken and lemon and I think that this recipe brings a fresh twist to an old favourite.

You need to marinade for a couple of hours minimum so leave plenty of time for the preparation.

Ingredients:-

• 2 Chicken Breasts with skin off
• Juice and Zest of one orange
• Juice and Zest of one lemon
• Juice and zest of one lime
• 3 tablespoons clear honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
• A pinch of cumin powder
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Lollo Rosso salad leaves

Method:-

Mix up all the ingredients (except the chicken and salad leaves) in a glass or earthenware bowl.Take the chicken breasts and make some diagonal incisions on one side, this will help the infusion of the marinade and then pop them in the marinade bowl for a minimum of two hours.

Prepare the salad leaves on the plate fire up the grill. Over medium coals, grill the chicken for about 10 - 15 minutes depending on how large the breasts are, and when cooked slice diagonally and lay over the salad leaves.

A nice crisp Chablis and "Bobs' your uncle!"
