- 75 g walnuts
- 50 g dried cranberries

Add 50ml water and 2 tbsp sugar to a frying pan and once simmering add the walnuts, coat in the sugar syrup and then pour onto a lined baking tray to cool
Oil and season the chicken breasts and cook on the BBQ @ 180c or in a grill pan/oven for approx. 15 minutes or until internal temp is 74c

- You can prepare the sprouts in the morning/afternoon for dinner time as long as they are stored in an airtight container in the fridge
- Candied walnuts will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container so why not make a double batch!
- You can substitute chicken thighs, whole chicken or even serve the salad full vegetarian
