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

  1. 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.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Toss diced chicken in half of the marinade. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Garnish and serve: Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with sour cream, if desired.
