- 4 cups Fresh Spinach
- 2 Chicken Breasts
- 1 can Sweetcorn
- 1-2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the beans and put them in a large pot filled with water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the beans until soft (30-40 minutes). Drain the water, let them cool down before shelling the pods.This step can be done night before to save your time.
- Meanwhile: wash the radishes and spinach leaves. Slice/cut them and place in a bowl for later. Wash the beetroot and peel it. Be careful when peeling and cutting it – use gloves and apron to avoid staining your hands and clothes.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips and season with salt. Melt butter in a frying pan, throw the chicken strips in and fry until nice golden brown.
- Throw in Lima beans and sweetcorn and sautee for a further 2-3 minutes. Season with some black pepper and salt, if needed.
- Divide all the ingredients between 4 plates and arrange any way you like!
- Serve warm or cold!
