Equipment

  • Lidded frying pan
  • Stovetop

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 700 g chicken tenderloins
  • Olive oil 3 tbsp
  • 2 baby gem lettuce
  • 2 peach
  • ½ bunch mint
  • 160 g marinated goat cheese
  • Lemon 1
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Peel and roughly chop garlic.
    3 cloves garlic
  • Place chicken tenderloins in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and garlic. Hold salt and pepper.
    3 cloves garlic, 700 g chicken tenderloins, Olive oil
  • Rinse and slice the base of the lettuce off, then cut into quarters. Arrange on a large serving plate.
    Add plain quarters to your child’s plate.
    2 baby gem lettuce
  • Slice peaches in half and pull away from the stone, then cut each half into quarters. Place on the serving plate.
    Add some peaches to your child’s plate now.
    2 peach
  • Pick mint leaves, and add to the salad.
    ½ bunch mint
  • Add chunks of marinated goat cheese and drizzle a little oil from the jar.

  • Slice lemon in half and squeeze half (reserve other half for later) the lemon over the salad.

  • Heat a frypan on high heat. Add tenderloins with all the garlic and oil and cook for 7-9 minutes with a lid on. After a minute turn the heat down to medium and turn every few minutes. Use your tongs to get any garlic from the bottom of the pan. Smells so good!
    TIP: Lid on will mean the chicken cooks through and garlic flavour infuses into the chicken. If the garlic looks like it is starting to brown, reduce the heat to medium.
  • Take the chicken off the heat and slice up for children, serving with peaches and lettuce quarters.
    For adults, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the chicken, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Serve alongside the salad.
