| Sharon Fruit |

| Mix Green and Sharon Fruit Salad |
1- Sharon fruit (you can use any fruit like apple, pear, pineapple, raw sweet and sour mango, sweet mango, pomegranate to name the few)
1- Tomato
½- cucumber
1 cup canned, washed chickpea or garbanzo beans

| Pan Roasted Chicken |
Method:
- Wash chicken and slit them across. Paste/grate the ginger and garlic. Marinate the chicken with ginger paste, garlic paste, salt, black paper and lemon juice. Keep aside for 10 mins while you prepare the salad
- Heat a tawa/skillet on low flame (as low as possible). Add 1-tablespoon of oil and spread all over. Place the chicken over the pan
- Cover and let it cook. Covering will help the chicken cook fast. Lift and turn the chicken occasionally.
- Meanwhile slice Sharon fruit, tomato and cucumber in to small pieces. Tear the leafy greens or leave them just the way they are. Add all the ingredients of salad and mix well. Careful not to put too much force as it might crash the fruits and the salad will become too soggy.
- For chili oil, mix lime juice and chili flake. Add oil and keep side to use later.
- After 15 mins or so, take the cover off. At this stage, the chicken should be almost cooked but not that brown.
- Once the chicken is cooked to golden brown, take if off the tawa/skillet and let it settle for 5 mins. This process will prevent the chicken from becoming too chewy. Cut the chicken diagonally
- Plate up with salad and sprinkle the chili oil over before serving
