Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This is a classic "surf and turf" salad in which you could use up leftovers from an unfinished roast chicken or you can just grill some chicken breasts or thighs. You can use pre-cooked or raw prawns for this and just griddle or pan-fry them.

2 large free-range chicken breasts
24 cooked medium to large prawns, peeled
2-3 handfuls of small, tasty salad leaves, washed and dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the dressing

1tbsp white wine vinegar
1tsp Dijon mustard
2tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
2tbsp olive oil

Preheat a ribbed griddle pan or heavy frying pan. Season the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, then leave to rest for a couple of minutes. Whisk all of the ingredients together for the dressing and season.

To serve, cut the chicken into 6 or 7 slices and arrange on serving plates with the leaves and prawns; spoon over the dressing.
