Ahhhhh........My Lunch !

Today I decided to put together a scrummy lunch for myself + my babies !

I shall share the recipe with you. It's light + so easy to put together + the taste is so D I V I N E that you will not want to stop eating it !! What is it?!?

BASIL + LEMON CHICKEN SALAD ON TOASTED CIABATTA

Serves 4
Prep 10 mins :: Cook 5 mins

8 slices ciabatta (or we used a french bread stick)
Olive oil spray
1 garlic clove
3 cups of shredded roast chicken, skin removed
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
100g baby rocket leaves (I also added baby spinach leaves)
2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 celery stick, trimmed, thinly sliced (I left this out....I'm not one for celery)

1. Preheat a barbeque grill or chargrill on high. Spray both sides of bread with oil. Cook for 1-2 mins each side or until charred. Rub 1 side of each bread slice with the cut side of the garlic. (I grilled our bread under our indoor grill/oven)

2. Meanwhile, combine the chicken, lemon rind, lemon juice, oil, rocket, basil, onion and celery in a large bowl. Divide the bread among serving plates and top with the salad. Serve.
