The Only Budget Recipe You Need for Chicken Strips and Salad

Need a break from greasy food? Go lean and go green in our second part of our budget recipe series with chicken strips and salad.

Most people have a misconception that healthy food can be costly. Let this budget recipe set you straight: eating healthy food doesn’t have to cost you a bomb. In fact, this chicken strips and salad recipe will cost you only S$2.30 per serving.

Chicken strips are probably the most flexible of all meats, and the easiest to cook. Paired with a salad, you’ll get a healthy and filling meal for under S$3. For this recipe, feta cheese and olive oil are used as the salad dressing.

If you’re looking for a little carbohydrates in the mix, you can also serve it with rice. It all depends on what you feel like having!

Pan-Seared Chicken Strips on a Bed of Greens (Serves 4)

Ingredients

Preparation

Coat the chicken strips with the burrito mix and set aside for half an hour. While waiting, wash and cut the lettuce. Boil and peel the eggs.

Cooking

Heat a shallow pan and add a bit of oil. Saute the garlic until golden brown and sear the chicken strips.

On a plate, arrange the lettuce and chicken strips. Garnish the leaves with salad dressing of your choice, or just feta cheese in olive oil. If you want eggs, you can cut them and put them on the side, for more colour.
