Ingredients

2 skinless chicken breasts
½ tsp olive oil
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning*

For the salsa

400g can pinto beans , rinsed and drained
2 red peppers , diced
1 avocado , diced
2 spring onions , sliced
1 tbsp olives
juice 1 lemon
handful coriander , chopped
 
*For the spice mix
Mix together ground cumin, coriander, chilli powder and a sprinkling of salt, if you like.

Method

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Stir coriander through the salsa just before serving. Serve the chicken either whole or sliced.
