Salads are the best option, as they are refreshing and generally don't heat the body. The extra added bonus is that salads are generally healthy, containing less fat and calories. Make your salad interesting by adding seedless grapes, walnuts and hints of ginger to traditional chicken. You whole family will love this.

• 1/3 cup golden raisins

May be you get home from work and an unexpected guest is dropping in for dinner. Whatever the reason, preparing something really delicious in such a short time sounds crazy. But it isn't.  You will be amazed that this chicken recipe can be prepared in less than 15 minutes.

Ingredients:
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice of one orange
• 2 tablespoons butter (omit for a healthier version)
• 4 mint leaves, sliced
• Zest of one orange (optional)

Method:
1. Put a skillet over medium-high heat and let it get hot.

2. While the skillet is charging, put the chicken between two pieces of waxed paper or into a plastic bag and take out your frustrations on it. The chicken should end up about 1/4 inches thick (or as close to it as possible.)

3. Add the olive oil to the skillet. Wait about 5 seconds for the oil to get hot and add the chicken breasts. Look out for spatters when you add the chicken.

4. Immediately move the chicken around a bit. The skillet may be hot enough that the chicken will brown too quickly, so you want to give it a little push. Add the orange juice.

5. Cook the chicken 6 to 7 minutes and then flip. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes more or until the chicken is done all the way through. (If you have a meat thermometer, you can remove the chicken at around 162 degrees.)

6. Finally, add the butter, mint and orange zest and let the butter melt. Let the chicken rest 2 to 3 minutes before plating.

Accompany with a nice green salad.

The flavour of the fried green tomatoes goes well with anything in the meat category, from pork chops to lamb and T-bones.Yumm!
