  • Wellie's Honeyed Lemon & Thyme Chicken Salad

    Served as part of Grape Lunch at Holly Cottage on Saturday 2nd Feb 2008

    Serves 8

    8 skinless chicken breasts, total weight approx. 1.4kg
    225ml olive oil
    4 x 5ml tsps. wholegrain mustard
    2 x 15ml tblsps. white wine vinegar
    2 x 5ml tsps. caster sugar
    2 x 15ml tblsps. clear honey
    grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
    3 x 15ml tblsps. chopped fresh thyme (I used Lemon Thyme)
    S & P

    1. Place the chicken under a hot grill for 10-12 mins until cooked through and gordon brown. Allow to cool, then slice (decoratively 'on a slant')

    2. Whisk together the next 8 ingredients.

    3. Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour the dressing over it.

    4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight, spooning the dressing over the chicken occasionally.

    5. Remove from fridge for 15 or so minutes before serving to allow the marinade/dressing to uncoagulate (new Wellie word) and serve with whatever else 'blows your frock up'.... Salads, saute or new potatoes etc.

                    Not fussy Shirley, there's nothing wrong with having a healthy hatred of coconut

                      I guess not, but when combined with an inability to eat tomatoes, mushrooms etc etc and an allergy to nuts, then it is probably just described as plain fussy!

                        Oh sorry! I went 'walkies' off this thread and forgot about you all.... Ooops!
                        OK, where to start?
                        Yes I will with pleasure. That about covers it?!
                        so, bear with me, and I'll trype them all out under: Wellie's ......... each in a new thread.

                        Shirley, nothing wrong with it at all, but it did set me rather a challenge preparing all the food darling!

                          Wellie sounds as though you could publish your own cook book, looking forward to the recipes being posted on here.

                            borage - where are you typing from? where abouts in the country? you'll have to stand in line. Piskie wants to marry me first?!
                            No, I jest. You're very kind, but I'm only passing on recipes that I've found that I've made and love or have found, not made, but love the sound of.

                            I'm one of those people who genuinely like to share, and give whatever it is in it's entirety for the right reasons.

                            A problem shared is a problem halved.
                            To me, a Recipe shared is a Joy doubled.....
                            (see individual new threads for each new recipe I post up on Season to Taste, ok?)

                            I met a lady once who could talk to 'all her guides' and the like, and she said to me that I should write a book, and this was way back. Reckon I should then?!

                              Most definately. You have such a wonderful way with words.
