Here is our recipe: warm chicken salad with avocado, lime and Grana Padano PDO.
Ingredients
Chicken breast, 600g
Ripe avocado, 1
Grana Padano PDO, 80g
Mixed salad leaves, 150g
Organic lime, 1
Cherry tomatoes, 10
Cucumber, 1
Extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Sesame seeds, to taste
Method
Slice the chicken breast into strips and season with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook in a hot frying pan for around 8 to 10 minutes until evenly golden, keeping the chicken tender and juicy.
Wash the mixed salad leaves, cherry tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
Halve the avocado, remove the stone and slice the flesh. Drizzle immediately with lime juice to prevent browning and add a fresh citrus note to the dish.
Arrange the mixed salad leaves in a large bowl and add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber and avocado. Add the chicken while still warm.
Finish with shavings of Grana Padano PDO, a little grated lime zest, sesame seeds and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.
