2 skinless chicken breasts

75 g asparagus spears
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons pine nuts
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 cup baby salad leaves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in small pan of cold water, bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly. Alternatively steam in a steamer.
