JP McMahon's dish from the Today Show on Thursday January 7, 2016. Only 300 calories too - nice one.

Ingredients:

  • 4 free-range chicken breasts, seasoned
  • 4 chicory, halved
  • 50g walnuts, roasted
  • 50g goat’s cheese, crumbled
  • Some nice salad leaves
  • Sea salt
  • Olive oil
  • Malt vinegar

Method:

  1. In a medium frying pan, fry the chicken in a little olive oil. Place in a warm oven until the core temperature has reached 65˚C (it will be firm to touch). Remove from the oven and rest in a warm place. Carve when plating.
  2. Brush the chicory leaves with some olive oil and grill until nicely charred.
  3. For the salad: mix the leaves with the walnuts and dress with some olive oil and malt vinegar.

    To serve:
    Place some salad on the plate and sprinkle over the goat’s cheese. Arrange the carved chicken and the chicory around the salad. Finish with a little grated walnut.
