half a lemon
2 spring onions or 1 small/baby leek if out of season
sea salt (if you need to)

rocket
olive oil or grape seed oil

Method

Heat the oil over a medium heat, add the chicken and brown, cooking for approx. 5 minutes until cooked through. Add the spring onions and turn for a minute. Squeeze the lemon and pour over, mix with the meat juices and take off the heat. Add a couple of light grinds of sea salt (if you need to and only after tasting rst) and black pepper. Serve either cold on a bed of rice with ripped rocket leaves or hot on a bed of rice - in which case add rocket leaves when ready to eat. If rocket is not in season use endive.
