This picnicky version of sang choy bau is healthy,crunchy and energising,not to mention gluten-free. This quantity will last two children for about three days. The chicken makes great sandwich filling,too.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
60g mayonnaise
1 stick celery,chopped into small dice
8 mint leaves,finely chopped
6 chives,finely chopped
1 tsp lemon zest

Method

Step1
Steam the chicken breasts until cooked through. A whole chicken breast takes about 15 minutes (poke it with a skewer to ensure juices run clear). Set chicken aside to cool. Finely chop once cool and mix gently with other ingredients.

Separate the lettuce leaves and send a few pristine scooped leaves to school,along with chicken filling in a separate container,a cold pack and a spoon.
