(New) SINGLETON'S EASY CHICKEN, RADISH & BROCCOLI SALAD

Packed with protein and fibre, a salad from home for school or work

An easy salad that pleases and satisfies for singletons and small households  

When life is busy and stresses rise, a lunch of protein with carbs and green veg boosts flagging energy and gets you through the rest of the day.   

This salad is quick and easy,  travels well and bathed in a tangy lime dressing, tastes fantastic.  It's got great textures and looks so pretty and appetising.

True, it's not low-carb but when times are tough, a few carbs provide a vital boost to body and soul.

This is an occasion when supermarket or butcher's cooked chicken is a welcome friend (remove skin for lower cholesterol and fat) but if you want to make your own, try easy-peasy singleton's poached chicken.

Comments:

'The tartness of the radish and the tangy lime dressing really made this salad, enhancing the succulent chicken and the tender heads and stems of broccoli.'  Retired Writer

Tip:

Boneless thighs can also be used for this recipe but the blandness of chicken breast works very well with the radish and lime flavours.
