Spanish Salad

Ingredients
150g Spinach and Rocket Salad (available at most supermarkets)
1 Small Onion (red is sweeter and preferred)
2 Oranges
Dash of Olive Oil
Optional
4 Chicken Breasts (The flavoured packs of cooked chicken pieces that supermarkets do work very well here and will allow you to experiment with flavours like Thai, Mexican and BBQ, if you are using flavoured pieces, ignore the rest of this section)
4 Tablespoons Flour (any will do)
1 Teaspoon Chilli Powder
A Good Pinch of Salt and Pepper
Zest and Juice of A Lime
1 Tablespoon of Cajun Seasoning

Equipment
2 Large Bowls
1 Small bowl for the lime juice
1 Large Frying Pan/Wok
1 Spatula
1 Lime Zester and Juicer

The Good Bit

1. If you are having the chicken, mix all the spice, salt, pepper and flower in a bowl along with the zest of the lime, dip your chicken in the lime juice and then coat both sides with the flour mixture.
2. Fry these off on a medium heat until golden turning only once so as to disturb the coating as little as possible.
3. Mix the salad leaves in with a dash of olive oil, peel and cut your oranges into skinless segments collecting any juice and mixing that in with the salad leaves.
4. Serve the leaves straight onto a plate and add a couple of slices of orange, then place a chicken fillet on top, or if you are using the pieces option, sprinkle them on top or mix in with the leaves, it's down to you!
