By Betty Richardson, 2017-05-27 05:24:13

This juicy chicken and spiralized carrot salad is so easy it barely deserves to be called cooking. With its bright flavors and crunchy textures, this dish is a favorite lunchtime staple in our house, and is best eaten as soon as you dress the carrots. Sprinkle some extra flaxseeds or linseeds for an added healthy boost. 

Ingredients:

3 large fresh carrots, peeled

2 skinless chicken breasts

1 cup of chopped cilantro (or flat leaf parsley)

1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

Toasted sesame oil, to taste

Japanese yakiniku (BBQ) sauce, to taste (available in international supermarkets under Asian seasonings)

Fresh lime juice, to taste

Instructions:

1.  Poach the chicken breasts in water with a stock cube, and once cooked through, shred roughly with a fork.

2.  Spiralize the carrots and place into a large bowl.

3.  Add sesame oil, BBQ sauce, lime juice to taste in increments of tablespoons.

4.  Add shredded chicken, sesame seeds and cilantro, mix and serve.
