Chargrilled chicken with avocado and gem lettuce salad

All started with a very warm day, the 8^th of July.

Thinking back at a holiday in Costa Rica and the beautiful variety of fruits they have, I have been hunting for ripe avocadoes not so easy around here! I was lucky and found a variation of green that I really liked for a picture.

 

Recipe x 4

4 chicken breast

4 avocado

2 little gem lattuce

1 Lime

1tsp sugar

1 tbsp greek yoghurt

Olive oil, salt, chillies flakes to taste

First cut avocadoes in cubes and finely chop the gem lettuce, put them in two separate plates because the lettuce will eliminate water that you don’t want in your final salad.

Then add the juice of the lime (half in each plate), olive oil, a pinch of sugar and salt and chilli flakes to taste mix well and put in the fridge to marinate (1h is enough).

 

Now grill the chicken

Just before plating mix the greek yoghurt with the gem lattuce and taste again you may need to add more salt or chilli flakes drain any water and you are ready to built up the tower if you fancy that!

 

Put the gem lattuce at the base then add the avocado on top and finish off with slices of grilled chicken.

 

The warm chicken with the cold salad is a great combination on a warm day.

Enjoy
