- Trim, rinse, dry and finely shred the lettuce and place in a bowl. Trim the snow peas, cut in half and add them to the bowl. Add the lychees, orange, plum and spring onions and toss to combine.
- Coat a heavy-based frying pan with non-stick cooking spray and set over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Fry the chicken breast fillets until cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.

Something else. I added pine nuts as another user suggested she would do next time she cooked this. I also added lime juice to the dressing...yummm - 04 May 2010
Loved this one... had to add water to sauce to make it 'drizzle'.. and I threw in a handful of fresh mint leaves from the garden.. Oh, and as plums are out of season here, I added a pear which was delicious. It was a hit at work where I made it for my work colleagues! - 03 Sep 2012
