Equipment

  • baking tray lines with baking paper
  • 8 skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 pounds and 2 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 limes
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sunflower oil
  • 2 1/4 ounces pecans
  • 1 bunch bok choy
  • 2 shallots
  • 3 1/2 fl oz coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons rocket (arugula) cress or other micro herbs

Instructions

  • Dice the chicken thigh fillets. Squeeze the limes. Finely chop the garlic. In a bowl, mix the chicken with the garlic, mustard, three-quarters of the lime juice, half the honey, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and half the oil. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat all but 2 teaspoons of the remaining honey with the remaining sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Spread the pecans on the lined baking tray. Pour the honey-sugar mixture over the pecans and toss to coat well. Sprinkle with a little sea salt. Roast the nuts for 5 minutes; make sure they don't get too much color. Set aside to cool and harden.
  • Cut the leaves and stems of the bok choy into strips. Chop the shallots.
  • Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Mix the coconut milk with the remaining lime juice and honey. Toss the bok choy and shallot through the dressing.
  • Divide the salad among four plates. Sprinkle with the cress and place the chicken skewers on the salads. Sprinkle with the pecans and pepper to taste.
