3 Spring Recipes From Newman’s Own:
1.) Honey And Mustard Chicken And Quinoa Salad:
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: about 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 200 g quinoa, rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 avocado, peeled, halved, stone removed and chopped
- 50 g pistachios, roughly chopped
- 150 g pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped flat leaf parsley
- 100 g rocket or watercress leaves
- 6 tablespoons Newman’s Own Honey & Mustard Dressing
Method:
- Place the quinoa in a pan with 600 ml of cold water and a little salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, over a low heat, for about 10- 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed most of the water. Cover with a lid and leave to cool, whilst you prepare the rest of the salad.
- Place the oil in a shallow dish, season with salt and black pepper and add the chicken and turn to coat.
- Heat a griddle pan until hot. Add the chicken and cook over a medium heat for 5- 7 minutes each side or until cooked through.
- Place the quinoa in a bowl, fluff with a fork and stir in 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Gently stir in the avocado, pistachios, pomegranate seeds and parsley, mix well and season to taste.
- Divide the rocket or watercress between 4 plates. Spoon over the quinoa mixture. Thinly slice the chicken and arrange over the top of the salad. Serve immediately, each plate drizzled with 1 tablespoon of the dressing.
