Method
Step 1
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbs oil and the chorizo. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 mins or until chorizo is crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chorizo to a plate lined with paper towel.
Step 2
Season the chicken. Add to the pan and cook for 7 mins or until browned on one side. Turn and cook for a further 3 mins. Add the tomatoes to the pan around the chicken. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally to turn the tomatoes, for 4 mins or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes soften. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside for 5 mins to rest. Thickly slice.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, shallot, mustard, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper until smooth. Drizzle the remaining ½ cup (125ml) oil into the vinegar mixture, whisking until well combined. Stir in the parsley.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with enough dressing to coat and transfer to a serving platter. Top with the chicken, tomatoes, avocado, olives and feta. Sprinkle with chorizo and serve with the remaining dressing.
