Warm Orange Chicken Salad

Ingredients
3 tsp olive oil
4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
2 oranges
60ml cider vinegar
2 Tsp wholegrain mustard
300g salad leaves
4 green olives, pitted and quartered
50g goats cheese, crumbled

Method
Zest one orange, and then juice it. Segment the second orange.

Fry the chicken cubes in two tsp of oil. After two minutes, add the garlic and cumin and fry for two more minutes.

Reduce the heat to low. Add the orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, mustard and remaining tsp of oil. Stir well.

Arrange the salad leaves in a serving dish. Spoon the chicken mixture over the leaves and top with olives and goats cheese.

Notes
I really like the segments of orange in the salad, the beloved did not. He had no objection to the zest and juice in the dressing though. Next time I make this, I'll leave the orange segments to one side and people can add them if they desire.
