Method

  • step 1

    Rub the chicken breast with a little of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. heat a griddle pan until hot, then griddle the chicken breasts for 6-8 mins on each side until cooked.

  • step 2

    While the chicken is cooking, cut the apple into fine matchsticks and toss in the lemon juice. Cut the beetroot into the same-sized matchsticks and set aside. When the chicken is cooked, toss the apple with the beetroot leaves, if using, rocket, hazelnuts, vinegar and the remaining olive oil. At the last minute, toss the beetroot through so it doesn’t bleed colour over all the other ingredients. Serve the chicken with a large pile of the salad alongside.

This is really delicious and very quick to make. I put cajun spice on the chicken to add some more flavour. Will definitely be making again.

This was a lovely dish we used our own apples and beetroot followed by your choc and beetroot cake yummy

Really enjoyed this & a great way to use beetroot raw. I added some fennel to the slaw as it was in the fridge, but could just as easily use celery or something similar. I also rubbed my chicken breast with a little morrocan spices before griddling.

My partner (not usually a salad lover) and I enjoyed this very much...the beetroot was fab! I was short on a couple of ingredients so I used some thinly sliced radish instead of apple, blanched roasted almonds instead of hazelnuts and balsamic instead of red wine vinegar. YUM!

I somewhat bastardised this dish, adding matchstick carrot and zucchini instead of apple and hazelnut oil instead of hazelnuts - and threw in some feta cheese - even so it was very tasty and went very well with roasted chicken pieces.
