Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 380g pack 2 Essential British Chicken Breast Fillets, butterflied
- 3 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 1 tsp nigella seeds
- 1½ tbsp red wine vinegar
- ¾ small red cabbage, core removed, finely shredded
- 4 salad onions, trimmed and shredded
- 250g pouch Merchant Gourmet Glorious Grains With Red Rice & Quinoa
- 60g feta, crumbled
- 12 pecan nut halves, toasted and crumbled
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Heat 1 tsp oil in an ovenproof frying pan, or flameproof roasting tin. Season the chicken, then sear for 2 minutes each side until golden.
Spread 2 tbsp cranberry sauce over the chicken, then scatter with the nigella seeds, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through with no pink meat and juices that run clear.
Meanwhile, stir together the remaining vinegar, 1 tbsp cranberry sauce, and 1 tbsp oil in a large bowl and season well. Add the cabbage, salad onions and 1 tbsp water and massage in with clean hands.
Rest the chicken on a plate for 5 minutes. Warm the grains and 2 tbsp water in the pan juices (take care with any hot handles). Off the heat, toss in the cabbage, most of the feta and pecans. Thickly slice the chicken. Top the salad with the chicken, its juices, the remaining feta, nuts and 1 tsp oil, then serve warm.
Cook’s tip
Toast the pecans in a small roasting tin on the shelf under the chicken for 4-5 minutes, then cool and crumble with your hands.
