You can also make this recipe your own, by adding any extra seasonal fruit.

With its fresh upfront palate and enduring finish, the modern-styled KWV Classic Chenin Blanc pairs really well with the fresh taste of the cilantro and lime. Serve the Chenin Blanc chilled and partner with this dish for crisp, fresh Summer flavours.

Cilantro and Lime Chicken Breast Salad

Chicken
4 large flattened chicken breasts
large handful of chopped fresh coriander
juice and zest of 5 limes
75 ml olive oil
125 ml orange juice

Salad
200 g asparagus
1 whole cucumber cut into spaghetti strips1 small red cabbage sliced
1 small red cabbage sliced
300 g fresh strawberries
3 limes cut in half
100 g blueberries
100 g pomegranate arils

Mix all the ingredients for the chicken together and pour over the flattened chicken breasts. Marinate for about 10 minutes or overnight for extra flavour.

Using a griddle pan or hot pan roast the chicken breasts for about 3 to 4 minutes to a side and till well cooked through. Leave to cool.

Heat up the leftover marinating juices in a saucepan and bring to the boil for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool. Pour over the resting breasts.

Blanch the asparagus by dropping them into boiling water for one minute and then into a bowl filled with iced water, remove from the water and drain well.

Toss the cucumber and red cabbage together. Roast the limes and strawberries on the griddle pan until seared. Arrange the cucumber and cabbage at the bottom of the plate with the asparagus, roasted strawberries and limes over.

Slice the chicken breasts into quarters and place over the salad. Drizzle the marinating liquid over the salad and garnish with the blueberries and pomegranates.

Season with salt and pepper and extra splashes of olive oil.
