Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts each one cut into two fillets
- 1 Tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1 Teaspoon onion powder
- 1 Teaspoon oregano
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of one lemon
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
Other:
- 1 Red pepper cut into strips
- 1 Yellow pepper cut into strips
- 1 Green pepper cut into strips
- 1 Leek halved length ways and then quartered sideways
- 10 Asparagus spears approximately, ends trimmed and cut into 3 inch sections
- 1 Pint cherry tomatoes cut into quarters
- 1 Cup feta cheese crumbled
- Sea salt
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- Small amount of fresh chopped parsley or cilantro optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, onion powder, oregano, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
- Place the chicken in a large shallow dish and pour over marinade and coat well. Set aside.
- Lay out a large sheet of aluminium foil and place on it the red peppers, yellow peppers, green peppers, leeks and asparagus. Drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle over sea salt. Loosely wrap.
- Turn the barbecue on to a medium heat. Place the foil vegetables over the barbecue and cook for about 20 - 25 minutes or until soft.
- When the vegetables are cooking, place the chicken on the barbecue. Cook each side for about 5 minutes. As the fillets will be thin, they won't need to cook long. Spoon over any extra marinade while chicken is cooking. Remove chicken and vegetables from the barbecue.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the feta cheese and the cherry tomatoes.
- On a clean cutting board, slice the chicken into strips.
- Put your salad together by plating a generous amount of vegetables on a plate, top with tomatoes & feta and then chicken. Can now top with fresh herbs, extra lemon or olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
