Method

  • step 1

    To make the salsa, tip the beans, peppers, avocado and spring onions into a bowl. Season, dress with the olive oil and lemon juice, and set aside.

  • step 2

    Lay the chicken breasts on a board and bash a bit to flatten them out slightly. Place in a dish, drizzle with a little olive oil, then coat with the Cajun seasoning. Heat a griddle pan and cook the chicken for 5 mins on each side, turning if you want to get a criss-cross pattern, until cooked all the way through. Stir coriander through the salsa just before serving. Serve the chicken either whole or sliced.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING YOUR OWN SPICE MIX

Making your own spice mix means that you can control the amount of salt used. For Cajun, mix together ground cumin, coriander, chilli powder and a sprinkling of salt, if you like.

Quick and tasty. I used kidney beans and chopped the chicken into chunks and stir fried.

We love this recipe but often can't find cans of pinto beans in our local supermarket so I just use canellini beans instead. I make enough so we can have it for lunch (minus the chicken) the following day too. Delicious!
