Grilled chicken salad with sun dried tomatoes.    

(Makes 4 servings)

 

4 5 ounce (150g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all fat removed

1 teaspoon (5ml) olive oil

1 tablespoon (15ml) balsamic vinegar

2 cloves garlic minced

2 teaspoons (10ml) minced, fresh thyme

Freshly ground pepper

Cooking spray

1 ½ pound (720g) red onion, sliced thin

1 ½ ounces (41.5g) sun-dried tomatoes

1/8 teaspoon (0.6ml) Worcestershire sauce

1/8 teaspoon (0.6ml) salt (optional)

1 teaspoon (5ml) olive oil

Freshly ground pepper

4 French style rolls, whole wheat is best

4 lettuce leaves.

 

Method:    Put chicken breasts into a shallow bowl.  Mix together oil, garlic, thyme, vinegar and pepper and drizzle this over the chicken breasts.   Cover and refrigerate overnight so it will marinate fully.   Spray cooking spray onto a non-stick, covered pan/skillet and on this, cook onion, remaining garlic with 2 tablespoons (30ml) of water.   Cover and cook for 5 minutes so the onion reaches wilting point.  Uncover and cook, while stirring until the onion browns up a little.   Prepare the sun-dried tomatoes, in hot water, as guided on the packet; drain and cut them up finely.   Put into a bowl with the Worcestershire sauce, oil, salt and pepper to taste.    Grill the chicken until well cooked, about 6 minutes per side, turn at least once.   Slice the rolls and as the chicken is turned, coat the rolls with cooking spray and toast over the coals.   Place the bottom half of each roll on a plate and top with lettuce leaf.  Then onto each roll put some chicken and 1/4 of the onion and tomato mix.  Cover with the top half of the roll and serve at once.
