poached chicken salad with grilled haloumi

A simple but rather delicious and healthy lunch that I put together last Friday: poached chicken breast in water and 1 cup of chardonnay; then cooled and sliced; made a salad using lettuce, avocado, tomatoes from our garden, spring onion, mango. Grilled some haloumi cheese and arranged strips over the top and added some almost hard boiled eggs (boiled for 3.5 minutes, just nice and soft, almost gooey). Very tasty.

Ah the joys of simple salad- and a boiled egg. In those heady days before motherhood I actually tried all of Elizabeth David's method for boiling eggs. I made a compromise method- put a room temperature egg into boiling water, boil for one minute, then stand covered in the pot for 10 minutes. I think it gives a fabulous texture. I should try them all again, it would make a fun blog post one day.
