4 skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp olive oil
juice 1 lemon
1 large Romaine or Cos lettuce , chopped into large pieces
1 punnet salad cress
4 hard-boiled eggs , peeled and quartered
25g parmesan , finely grated

Steps:

Put the chicken breasts in a large bowl with the olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice, then season. Heat the grill to high. Put the chicken breasts on a foil-lined tray and cook under the grill for 10-12 mins until golden and cooked through, turning once during cooking. Transfer to a plate or board and slice.
