Chicken, avocado & egg salad

March 14, 2016 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

Hello!!! It’s been two weeks since my last post and that’s way too long! I’ve been in Croatia spending some time with my family, celebrating my little niece’s 5th birthday, meeting some new friends and some old ones that I haven’t seen for a very long time. It’s been fun, emotional, relaxing and much needed but at the same time I missed working. This is the first time in my life that I love what I do and it’s the best feeling ever! It makes all the life problems so much smaller and less important and it gives strength and confidence and peace of mind. This way of life I have, as much as it is rewarding and it gives you so many new experiences and friends, it can also get quite difficult at times. Not having a base, moving all the time, making home over and over again, starting from scratch, always anticipating a change and wonder what it will be this time, spending a lot of time on your own… I don’t mean to complain, just sharing honestly as I intended to do from the first moment I started this blog. I talk here about beautiful healthy food, delicious ingredients, wonderful travelling, exciting times but also about struggles and health issues and life in general, the good and the bad. I prefer to keep this blog that way rather than portray a non realistic and ideal picture of my life. I hope you agree with this and don’t mind my writing as I love having you here and every visit, comment and message means a lot to me… 🙂




I came back to the Swiss Alps yesterday late evening after taking a flight from Croatia and than three (3!) trains to get here so to say that I was tired is an understatement. It can be quite isolating living here but than this morning I woke up to a clear blue sky, sun shining, mountain peaks covered with snow, fresh air and somehow that frustration fade away… It’s Monday, new week and I have so much work to do so there will be new photos, new recipes, new posts yaaay! 🙂 The first one is this delicious Chicken, avocado and egg salad that is actually a complete meal and it’s a great lunch idea as you can also take it to work and it’s full of good, yummy ingredients that won’t leave you hungry!


I had few people asking me if I eat meat and if I will post any recipes that include meat. I must say that I was never a big meat eater but I’ve always enjoyed my mum’s roast for Sunday lunch (just in small quantities), I’ve also loved a few slices of Dalmatian or Italian prosciutto, roasted chicken or dishes with lots of vegetables and a little bit of meat. So I mostly eat vegetables, fish, grains, legumes, fruit, nuts… but occasionally I do eat some meat. When I was struggling with my digestion and lots of nasty symptoms last year, I stopped eating meat for about three months and I felt a lack of energy and my body decided it needed that small quantities of meat after all so I introduced it back to my diet. And started to feel better! So here it is, a recipe that includes roasted chicken breasts. 🙂

Author: Lili Basic Capaccetti
Recipe type: Salad / Lunch
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts (about 300 g)
  • 1 avocado
  • 3 eggs, hard-boiled
  • 10-12 cherry tomatoes
  • green salad mix (lettuce, rocket salad, lamb's lettuce)
  • handful pumpkin seeds (optional)
  • salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon for seasoning
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 200 C (390 F) and line a small baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast them in the oven for about 30 min or until well roasted. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. When cooled, cut the chicken in cubes.
  4. Boil the eggs and let them cool before cutting.
  5. Cut the avocado in cubes and drizzle it with lemon juice (this will prevent it from turning ugly brown color).
  6. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
  7. In a large mixing bowl put the green salad of your choice (lettuce, rocket salad, lamb's lettuce), roasted chicken cut in cubes, sliced avocado, hard-boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes and a handful of pumpkin (or other) seeds. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt & pepper as per taste. Serve and enjoy!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
