Chicken, falafel and pomegranate salad

Perfect for the Autumn this chicken, falafel and pomegranate salad is quick, tasty, and nutrient-dense. Ideally for a quick but nutritionally balanced lunch or dinner. I have named it ” My Waitrose Chicken Salad” because I used to make it with Waitrose’s rotisserie chicken sweet potato falafel, but you can use pan-roasted chicken fillet too.

I normally vouch for home-cooked food, but sometimes time is really short and you have to compromise. These sweet potato falafel add great flavor and can liven up a simple salad.

Preparation time for this salad depends on whether you use leftover cooked chicken or not. If you are cooking the chicken I can suggest this simple recipe for pan-fried lemon chicken and thyme, so easy to make and does not require many ingredients.

Lemon is one of those must-have healthy ingredients that should always be around, while thyme grows really well in UK and can be kept in a pot in your kitchen.

Here is the recipe for Lemon and Thyme Chicken Fillets. You will find it in my old food blog The Healthy Gourmet.
