Mexican Chicken and Bean Salad - Serves 2 (for my BBF)

2 x Chicken Breasts
2 x tbs of Masterfoods Mexican spice powder
1/2 x Lemon

Salad Ingredients -
1 x lg can of 5 Bean Mix
1/2 x punnet of Cherry tomatoes - halved
1 x sml tin of Corn Kernels
1/2 x Red Onion - diced
1/2 x Avocado - diced
1 x Cup of Coriander Leaves - picked whole leaves
1 x ts of Cumin powder
1/2 x Lemon

How to make your salad -

Place your chicken breasts in a freezer bag. Add the Mexican spice powder and a squeeze of 1/2 your lemon. Twist the end of your bag tightly and shake your chicken so it is completely covered with your tasty Mexican marinade and leave for 10 minutes to infuse.

Place all your salad ingredients into a bowl and give a good toss - (reserving some coriander sprigs for garnish).

Turn your fry pan on medium heat and give it a spray with your EVOO spray. Add your chicken and cook (should take about 7-10 minutes on each side). Be careful not to burn your spice marinade.

Once it is cooked, Slice each breast into about 5 pieces.

Serve salad topped with warm chicken and some fresh coriander sprigs.

Enjoy :)
