Ingredients
- 500 g Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets, flattened with a mallet to 1cm thickness, from the deli
- 1 tbsp Coles Brand Baby Capers, roughly chopped
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 1 Lemon, zest and juice
- 2 tsp Coles Brand Italian White Wine Vinegar
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 small Zucchinis (180g)
- 75 g Baby Rocket
- 1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
Method
- Preheat BBQ or chargrill pan to medium-high heat.
- To make the vinaigrette, combine capers, shallot, lemon zest and juice and white wine vinegar in a small bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until thoroughly combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Drizzle the chicken with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Cook chicken on BBQ or chargrill for about 7 minutes, turning once until chargrill marks are achieved and chicken is just cooked through. Remove chicken to a cutting board and rest.
- To prepare the salad, hold the stem end of the zucchini and, using a vegetable peeler, peel thin ribbons until you reach half way through. Flip the zucchini and repeat on the other side. Discard stem.
- To assemble the salad, combine zucchini, rocket and tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with half of the vinaigrette and gently toss with your hands, being careful not to break the zucchini ribbons.
- Slice chicken into thin strips on an angle and divide it evenly among 4 plates. Top with salad and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
