Ingredients
Marinade/Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ cup fresh chopped cilantro coriander
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
Salad:
- 4 chicken thigh fillets skin removed, no bone
- 5 cups romaine Cos lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 1 red pepper capsicum, deseeded and sliced
Mango Salsa:
- 1 large mango diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 green onion shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
- extra coriander leaves to garnish
- red chili flakes to garnish
Instructions
- Whisk marinade ingredients together to combine. Pour a third of the marinade into a shallow dish to marinade the chicken fillets for at least 15 minutes (ideally one to two hours if you have the time). Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use as a dressing.
- Heat about one teaspoon of oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. (Grill in batches of two to prevent excess water being released.) Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
- Wipe pan over with paper towel; drizzle with another teaspoon of oil and grill or fry peppers and until cooked to your liking.
- While peppers are cooking, prepare the mango salsa. Combine the mango, avocado and green onion in a bowl. Add in two tablespoons of the reserved dressing to the salsa. Set aside.
- Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with leaves, sliced peppers and mango salsa. Top with the chicken strips. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve with (optional) extra coriander leaves and red chill flakes.
