Moroccan lemon chicken on spinach

Serves 2 to 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

4 x 100 g pieces chicken breast fillet, skinned
Flavours of Morocco spice rub, for dusting
1 T olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
300 g spinach or Swiss chard leaves

For the lemon dressing, combine:

4 T lemon juice
1 T olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 T chopped mint
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the preserved lemon and mint salsa, combine:

2 T chopped mint
2 t olive oil

Method

Cut the chicken fillets in half then rub with the spice mix and olive oil. Thread onto bamboo skewers, soaked in water, then sear on a hot griddle pan for 1 to 2 minutes a side, or until cooked through but still tender. Season lightly.

Place a skewer or two on a serving of spinach or Swiss chard. Spoon over the lemon dressing and serve with the salsa.

To prepare the spinach/Swiss chard: Soak the leaves in a bowl of cold water. Drain. Pour over boiling water to cover and leave for 10 minutes. Drain and cool, then chop roughly.

Place in a saucepan over a medium heat, and cook, stirring now and again, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the spinach is just tender.
