Donal's Notes

All the elements of this honey butter chicken salad can be assembled in advance and it’s just as tasty served hot or cold. The little spicy sweet & sticky nuggets of chicken are pretty addictive on their own but alongside the crunch of romaine lettuce and tart green apple slices they make for the perfect summer salad. Add salty spiky blue cheese to the mix and you have one of my favourite meals.

Hi Keith, if you click print recipe (beside the calorie serving at the top of each recipe) , this will give you a downloadable file with just the text instructions. But otherwise the written instructions are above each step by step video. Enjoy!

Hi Is there anywhere on the site with written instructions on how to cook the meals or is it just the videos? Cheers Keith
