Equipment

  • Pot
  • Bowl
  • Knife

Ingredients

Salad

  • 180 gram Spelled Kernels
  • 1/2 pcs. Broccoli heads cut into small florets
  • 2 pcs. Avocado diced
  • 1 pcs. Red Onion finely chopped
  • 100 gram Sugar Snap Peas cut into smaller pieces
  • 75 gram salad mixed
  • 18 gram Sesame Seeds

Dressing

  • 20 gram Olive Oil
  • 15 gram Lemon Juice
  • 1 clove Garlic pressed
  • 2 gram Fresh ginger finely grated
  • 40 gram Syrup
  • Salt and Pepper

Chicken

  • 300 gram Chicken Breast
  • 1 pcs. Egg
  • 50 gram Panko Breadcrumbs
  • Salt and Pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  • Start by cooking the spelt kernels in lightly salted water.
  • Also, put the broccoli in a pot with boiling water and blanch them for a couple of minutes under a lid – so they become tender but still have a bite.
  • Put the egg for the chicken in a bowl and whisk it together. Put panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Dip the chicken first in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Fry the chicken fillets in a pan with a little oil over medium heat, 4-5 minutes on each side, so the pieces become brown and crispy.
  • Drain the spelt kernels and broccoli of water and put them in a bowl along with avocado, red onion, sugar snap peas, and salad.
  • Stir all the dressing ingredients together and toss in the bowl, so it mixes well with the spelt and vegetables.
  • Arrange the salad on plates, cut the chicken into slices and add to the plates. Top with sesame seeds and serve.
