I like to eat and a lot of salad. That's why I'm always looking for something different and new recipes. Now for the first time I had eaten a burger in a restaurant, which was served in salad instead of a burger roll. As a side dish: a grilled Romanasalat. Delicious!
I had to try this at home! However, this time I did not grilled, but fried. In addition, a juicy on the inside and crisp and crispy on the outside, Mediterranean spiced chicken breast.
ingredients
(For 1 person)
- 1 larger Romaine lettuce (or several smaller ones as needed and size)
- Herb butter (I had homemade)
- 1 chicken breast fillet
- Mediterranean spices, (or other if desired) paprika powder
- Pepper and salt from the mill
- olive oil
- lemon juice
preparation
- First and foremost, the chicken breast is rubbed with Mediterranean spices, as well as paprika powder, a little salt and pepper. If you like it spicy, you can use some chilli or cayenne pepper, which gives you even more pep.
- This then in a pan that is big enough that later even the salad fits, sauté (pan with a lid) in a little olive oil and then leave to cook with lid on low level for about 10 minutes. During this time I have turned her several times.
- During this cooking time prepare the salad: First cut the lettuce off a bit, if necessary, then remove the not so good outer leaves, if the salad is too long, it can also be shortened from above. (The Romanasalat is available in different sizes ...)
- Next, fill the romaine lettuce with herb butter by placing small pieces between the leaves, which then fall down towards the stalk by gently tapping the salad. Then tie the salad with a thread.
- After the chicken breast is well cooked with a lid, add some herb butter to the pan and add the romaine lettuce. Switch the temperature up again, fry the salad on all sides (still keep the chicken in the pan, turn it over again). If the salad has nice color all around, put the lid back on the pan and continue to cook for about 3 - 5 minutes when the temperature is lowered.
- Well, finally, fresh Romanasalat and chicken breast, drizzle both with a little lemon juice, season with salt and pepper from the mill a little and enjoy!
A quick and relatively healthy meal. (Low carb)
PS: By this way of preparation, the chicken was as tender as ever.
