Ingredients:

• 200g chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon garlic paste
• The juice of half a lemon, plus more for serving
• 2 large eggs
• A handful of Romania lettuce leaves
• A handful of baby spinach leaves
• 50g of your favorite cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work well)
• Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions:

1. In a pot, combine the chicken, salt, ginger paste, garlic paste, and lemon juice. Add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 20 minutes.
2. While the chicken is cooking, place the eggs in a small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 9 minutes. Rinse under cold water to cool, then peel and cut in half.
3. Wash and dry the lettuce and spinach leaves. Arrange them on a plate.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Cut into slices or chunks, then arrange on top of the greens.
5. Place the halved boiled eggs around the chicken.
6. Grate the cheese and sprinkle it over the chicken and eggs. If you’d like it melted, you can place the plate under a broiler for a minute or two (but be sure your plate is broiler-safe).
7. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze some extra lemon on top just before serving.
