Oven bake skinside up at 200° C for about 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the breastsand whether the meat is on the bone or not. If you prefer to prepare thechicken on the braai, place over a medium hot fire and braai on both sidesuntil just cooked. Remove from the heat, then leave to rest for a few minutes.Remove the bones, then slice the breasts into thin slivers. Arrange the lettuceand cucumber on a platter, then top with the sliced chicken and ranch dressing.Top with more chopped dill and serve at once.

Notes

Chef’s tip: We prefer using chicken breast on the bone for a lovely succulent bite with crispy skin. You can also opt for skinless, boneless breasts, just reduce the cooking time
