Ingredients
- 170 g chicken breast
- 80 g avocado
- 80 g lettuce
- 100 g cucumber
- 15 g pumpkin seeds
- 7 ml olive oil
- 20 g lemon
Method
- Slice the chicken breast in half horizontally to make two thin fillets. Rub with a little of the olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
- Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes, shaking the pan, until they start to pop. Tip onto a plate.
- Put the chicken in the same pan over a medium heat and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden and white all the way through, with no pink and the juices running clear. Rest for 3 minutes, then slice.
- Meanwhile, tear the lettuce, slice the cucumber, and halve, stone and slice the avocado.
- Squeeze the lemon and whisk the juice with the rest of the olive oil, salt and black pepper.
- Toss the lettuce and cucumber with the dressing, top with the avocado and warm chicken and scatter over the pumpkin seeds.
