Dinner with Nevena



Back at Casa Carlita for dinner on this amazing Thursday evening I spoiled my flatmate with this awesome and nutritious dinner for two. It's not only a blast of fresh ingredients but also very filling and tasty!! I've taken a classic salad like coleslaw and reinvented it into something healthy and low fat! Take a look. 

Grilled chicken with potatoes and assorted salads:

Grilled chicken

Ingredients: 
Two chicken breasts 
Paprika 
Course black pepper 
Himalayan rock salt
Ina Paarman braai spice 
Cajun spice 
Four garlic cloves 
The juice of one lime 
Dried origanum 
Dried rosemary 
Olive oil cooking spray 
Chicken stock
Two large potatoes 

Method:
Mix all spices together and rub over the chicken breasts. 
Spray the non stick pan and transfer the chicken into it 
Grill the chicken breasts till golden brown 
Add garlic cloves to the pan and then add about one cup of chicken stock. 
Peel and cut the potatoes in half and place into the pan. 
Cook until tender and finish off with lime juice. 

Kale salad 

Ingredients: 
Two cups of chopped kale 
Black pepper 
Rock salt 
Lime juice 
Basil pesto
Olive oil 
Sprouts 

Method: 
Incorporate the salt, pepper, lemon juice and basil pesto and massage into the kale. This is a very important process. It's  vital to massage a dressing into kale until it is tender as this makes the kale more edible and tasty.  
Mix in the basil pesto and sprouts.

One cup grated purple cabbage 
1/2 cup grated carrot 
1 T low fat Mayo 
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
