Here is my take on "What's Cooking Challenge" by Hive account@jaynie!

The weekend is finally here, and I finally get to spend more time cooking in my small kitchen. After my much-needed body massage this afternoon, I went to get some fresh ingredients for my dinner tonight. Tonight's menu is my own twist on the Honey Garlic Chicken Salad. This dish will not take a long time to prepare and cook, and most of the ingredients may already exist in your kitchen cabinet and refrigerator. So, let's dive in!

Ingredients:

1. 3 small pieces of chicken breast fillets
2. Salt
3. Pepper
4. 1 tablespoon of Paprika spice
5. 4 cloves of chopped garlic & 2 crushed garlic cloves for marinating
6. 1/3 cup of honey
7. 1/4 cup of water
8. 1 tablespoon of vinegar
9. 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
10. Olive oil
11. 65 g of diced avocados
12. 100g of Romaine lettuce salad
13. 50 g of cherry tomatoes
14. 4 tablespoons of lime juice
    *Please change the above measurements to suit your taste palette. :)

Steps:

• Season the chicken breast fillets with salt, pepper and paprika spice.
• Add some crushed garlic in it, and leave it aside for some "marinating" time.
• Meanwhile, dice the avocados and place them in a bowl.
• Rinse the cherry tomatoes and Romaine lettuce salad, and place them in your serving plate.

Steps:

• Heat your cooking pan over a medium heat.
• Sear the chicken breast fillets on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. Flip it about every 4 minutes.
• Take it out and leave it on a separate plate.

Steps:

• In the same pan, stir fry the chopped garlic with some olive oil until fragrant.
• Add the honey, water, vinegar, lime juice and soy sauce.
• Increase the pan heat to medium-high.
• Add the chicken breast fillets and continue to cook until the sauce reduces down and thicken slightly (about 5 minutes).

Steps:

• While your kitchen/room smells delicious, do a quick taste to check if you like the final flavour. Adjust until you are satisfied with the flavour. Perhaps a little more honey, lime juice, or water.
• Time to assemble your honey garlic chicken salad! Slice the chicken breast fillets, and drizzle the honey garlic sauce over it, and some hints on the salad greens.
• Remember to add your diced avocados!
• AND YOUR SALAD IS READY! :D

If you have other fantastic recommendations for me, please let me know in the comments section below! Ever since I moved out of my home country, I have started cooking a lot more, and just experimenting with different recipes. It worked brilliantly, and at times, things have gone wrong in the kitchen too. HAHAHAA! Oh welp! :D
