Ingredients
- 2 small chicken breasts ((150g/5oz each), 2 cm / 4/5" thick (or 1 large, cut in half horizontally))
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 g arlic clove (, minced)
- Black pepper
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 5 heaped cups shredded green cabbage
- 1/2 red onion (, finely sliced)

- 100 g / 3.5 oz freshly grated parmesan ((about 1 heaped cup) (Note 2))
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Steps
-
If the chicken is much thicker than 2cm / 4/5", pound lightly or cut in half horizontally.
-
Place the Grilled Chicken ingredients in a ziplock bag and set aside for 30 minutes to overnight.
-
Use the oil to brush the grill, or heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes on each side, then remove onto a plate. Cover loosely with foil, rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
-
Cook the peas in boiling water (or steam), drain then rinse under cold tap water to cool down.
-
Place cabbage, peas, mint and onion in a bowl. Add parmesan, lemon juice, olive oil, and pepper.
-
Toss well. Adjust salt to taste, add more parmesan if desired.
-
Transfer to serving plates, top with chicken. Garnish with more parmesan and black pepper, then serve.
