Who says salads are boring? Well this one is definitely not! This salad is all about the ingredients so buy the best quality you can, it makes all the difference to the final taste! If your being super healthy you don’t have to add any bread crumbs, alternative you could toast some pine nuts these would work equally well.

  2. 2

    Bring to the boil, turn it down, place on the lid and gently simmer for 10 minutes, when ten minutes is up set the pan aside still keeping the chicken breast in the warm stock, they will still continue to poach whilst you are preparing everything else.

    Next prepare the avocado, squeeze the lemon in it to stop it from browning.

  6. 6

    In a small frying pan add the tablespoon of olive oil, heat it fairly high, add the bread crumbs, fry until golden brown, once browned drain into kitchen paper to absorb some of the oil.

  7. 7

    Careful take out the chicken breasts from the liquor, then pull apart with some forks.

  8. 8

    Place on to a serving plate.

  9. 9
