Ingredients

For the chicken:

1 Tablespoon (6 g) of cayenne pepper
4 chicken breasts (800 g), skinless and deboned
salt
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil, for grilling

For the dressing:

6 Tablespoons (90 ml) of olive oil
generous handful cilantro leaves (0.5oz / 15g)
juice of 2 limes
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of white balsamic vinegar
salt
freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:

20 cherry tomatoes (340 g), halved
4 pickled jalapenos (56 g), sliced
1 red onion (110 g), peeled and finely sliced
1 large avocado (200 g), diced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C).
Sprinkle the cayenne pepper onto both sides of the chicken breasts and season with salt. Heat the olive oil in a pan and brown the chicken on both sides until golden. Transfer to a roasting tray and bake for 10-12 minutes to cook the breasts through.
Meanwhile, make the dressing by placing the olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, and white balsamic vinegar into a mini food processor or blender and blitz well. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Finish the salad by combining the remaining ingredients. Slice the chicken breasts and serve on top with the dressing.
