Ingredients

  • 165ml extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 100g Provedore Chorizo Crumb
  • 2 Coles RSPCA Approved Australian Chicken Breast Fillets
  • 200g cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbs red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbs finely chopped shallots
  • 3 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbs finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 baby gem lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1 avocado, stoned, peeled, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (40g) Coles Giant Pitted Kalamata Olives, halved
  • 60g Elco Dodoni Greek Feta, crumbled

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.
