Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ tsp olive oil
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning , we used Bart (or make your own - see recipe, below)
400g can pinto bean , rinsed and drained
2 red peppers , diced
1 avocado , diced
2 spring onions , sliced
1 tbsp olive
juice 1 lemon
handful coriander , chopped

Steps:

To make the salsa, tip the beans, peppers, avocado and spring onions into a bowl. Season, dress with the olive oil and lemon juice, and set aside.
Lay the chicken breasts on a board and bash a bit to flatten them out slightly. Place in a dish, drizzle with a little olive oil, then coat with the Cajun seasoning. Heat a griddle pan and cook the chicken for 5 mins on each side, turning if you want to get a criss-cross pattern, until cooked all the way through. Stir coriander through the salsa just before serving. Serve the chicken either whole or sliced.
