Warm Salad Of Marinated Chicken

If we are living our lives productive physically and emotionally as God intended we should never feel guilty about taking a break. Sometimes a nap or day off or vacation is the best thing we can do. We need the solitude to recharge and reflect. We retreat not in defeat, but we retreat in order to come back stronger and refreshed. Even when the Gospel needed to be proclaimed, Jesus and His disciples took time away from the crowds (Mk. 6:31; Lk. 9:10).

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Season the boned thighs well,
add the oil to the pan, then place the thighs in it skin side down.
Toss in the garlic clove to flavour the oil. Now cook the chicken  skin
side down until the skin is nice and crispy. This will take  about 20
to 30 minutes. Turn over the thighs and discard the garlic  which will
be well browned by now.  Continue to cook the chicken for another 2-3
minutes. Add the lemon  juice and shake the pan to ensure that it is
evenly distributed. Cook  for another 3 minutes then remove to a warm
place to rest for 5  minutes.  To serve, place the salad leaves,
pepper, beans and tomatoes in a  bowl and season, then add the
vinaigrette and toss well. Divide  between 4 serving plates. Scatter
the croutons over, if using, and  then carve each thigh into 6 or 7
pieces and place them on top of the  salad. Garnish with carrot shreds
and chives.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per serving: 353 Calories (kcal);
