SWEET CHILLI CHICKEN SALAD

This salad is part of the 5:2 Diet and very low in calories. Only 174 Calories. It is delicious and I felt content after eating it. It doesn't take long to make which is a plus when you are dieting. The second week I fried the chicken with a bit of oil, and that add a few more calories to the recipe, however, the difference in taste was minimal and you don't really need to do it because the dressing is awesome.

INGREDIENTS

200g chicken breast fillet or chicken thighs
1 1/4 cups bean or alfalfa sprouts
1 small red or yellow capsicum, sliced thinly (150g)
1 small carrot, cut into matchsticks (70g)
1 fresh long red chilli, seeded and sliced thinly
1/3 cup firmly packed fresh coriander leaves
3cm piece fresh ginger, grated (15g)
1/4 cup lime juice
1 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 tsp fish sauce

METHOD:
Bring the water to the boil in a medium saucepan and add the chicken. 

Simmer, covered for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
Cool the chicken in the poaching liquid for 10 minutes and drain and shred coarsely.
