Ingredients
Serves
Marinade/Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
Salad:
- 500 grams B Strong Slow Cooked Chicken
- ½ yellow bell pepper, deseeded and sliced
- ½ red bell pepper, deseeded and sliced
- ½ onion, sliced
- 5 cups Romaine or cos lettuce, washed and dried
- 2 avocados, sliced
- Extra cilantro for garnish
- Sour cream (optional, to serve)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade/dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, brown sugar, chili flakes, cumin, and salt. Set aside.
- Marinate the chicken: Toss diced chicken in half of the marinade. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden. Remove from heat and let it rest.
- Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the bell peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
- Assemble the salad: In a large serving bowl, combine lettuce, sliced avocado, cooked chicken, and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle the remaining marinade/dressing over the salad and toss lightly.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with sour cream, if desired.
