Ingredients

  • 500g skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice plus the zest of the lemons
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 800g baby potatoes, scrubbed
  • Juice and zest of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 small red onion, highly sliced
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp chives, roughly chopped

Directions

1
Using paper towel, pat dry the chicken breasts. Place the chicken in between baking paper and using a rolling pin or meat hammer, pound to make the pieces even.
2
In a container, combine the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, ginger, oregano, chilli, salt and pepper.
3
Add the chicken and toss well to combine. Cover with a lid and place in the fridge for 30-45 mins to marinade (no more otherwise the chicken will be tough).
4
Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil with the lid on. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until tender.
5
Drain the potatoes and allow to cool for approx. 10 minutes.
6
To make the dressing, add the lemon juice, zest, salt, mustard, honey and olive oil into a jar. Shake well until combined.
7
Cut the cooled potatoes in half. Place them in a bowl and pour over the dressing.
8
Add the onion, sun-dried tomatoes and chopped herbs. Toss well until potatoes are coated.
9
Preheat the grill or a pan to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and grill on each side for about 5-7 minutes. You can baste with the remaining marinade when turning. Remove chicken when cookED and discard any leftover marinade.
10
Slice the chicken breasts and serve with the potato salad.
