Ingredients

300g pack Chicken Breast Fillets (2 breasts)

3 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tsp Asda Moroccan Seasoning (or other mixed spices such as Piri Piri or Cajun)

390g tin Green Lentils, drained and rinsed

170g bag Asda Mild Bistro Salad

100g Cucumber, cut into small chunks

1/2 Medium Red Onion, finely sliced

15g Fresh Mint, stalks discarded and leaves finely shredded

1/2 Lemon, juice only

100g Asda Greek Style Yoghurt

1 tbsp Fresh Mint Leaves, finely chopped

1/2 Garlic Clove, crushed

Method

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of clingfilm or non-stick baking paper. Bash with a rolling pin until 1cm thick – when thin, it cooks quickly and remains juicy. Place the chicken in a bowl and toss with 1 tsp of the oil and the seasoning mix.

Heat a griddle pan or large frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 8 mins or until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked, turning halfway through. Reduce the heat if the spices begin to burn.

Lightly toss together all the remaining ingredients (except the dressing) in a large bowl or scatter over a shallow platter. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tsp olive oil and the lemon juice. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

Transfer the chicken to a board and leave to rest for 5 mins. Mix together the ingredients for the dressing and add salt and black pepper to taste.

Slice the chicken and add to the salad with a drizzle of dressing to serve.
