Sticky lime chicken salad (marinate the chicken overnight in the juice of 2 limes, a tablespoon of honey, a tablespoon of olive oil and two teaspoons of thyme . then bake in a preheated oven for 30 mins) You can use the chicken for dinner and then chop some up to make a salad. For the salad I normally add iceberg lettuce, sweetcorn and cherry tomatoes.
