Ingredients Required – 250g chicken breasts – 3 tbsp Laajawab Blazing Thyme Rub – 1 tbsp olive oil – 150g curd – 1 tbsp Laajawab Blazing Thyme Rub (for curd dressing) – Fresh vegetables: capsicum, cabbage, onion, carrot, broccoli, cucumber
Step-by-Step Recipe: Chicken Salad Step 1: Marinate the Chicken Start by taking 250g of chicken breasts. For the marinade, drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add 3 tablespoons of Laajawab Blazing Thyme Rub. This rub is all you need for seasoning—no extra salt or spices are required. Rub it evenly over the chicken breasts and let the chicken marinate for 10-15 minutes. The thyme and spice blend in the Laajawab rub infuses the chicken with mouthwatering flavours, perfect for a post-workout meal.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables While the chicken is marinating, chop your vegetables. For this recipe, I recommend using a colourful mix of capsicum, cabbage, onion, carrot, broccoli, and cucumber. These veggies not only add crunch and colour but are also packed with essential nutrients to complement the high-protein chicken. Dice the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and set them aside in a large bowl.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken After the marination is complete, it’s time to cook the chicken. Preheat your air fryer to 185°C. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking. The air fryer locks in moisture while giving the chicken a crispy, golden exterior. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked by checking that the internal temperature reaches 75°C.
Step 4: Prepare the Curd Dressing While the chicken is air frying, let’s whip up the dressing. Take 150g of curd and mix in 1 tablespoon of Laajawab Blazing Thyme Rub. This simple dressing adds creaminess and another layer of flavour to the salad, perfectly balancing the freshness of the vegetables and the spiced chicken. Step 5: Assemble the Salad Now that all the components are ready, it’s time to assemble the salad. In the large bowl with the chopped vegetables, add the air-fried chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces. Pour the curd dressing over the chicken and vegetables, and toss everything together to ensure it’s evenly coated.
