Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time:      10 minutes

Ingredients (serves 2):

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tbsp Cajun seasoning

½ tsp olive oil

For the Salsa

400g can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

2 red peppers, diced

1 avocado, diced

2 spring onions, sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

juice 1 lemon

handful chopped coriander

salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

1. To make the salsa, tip the pinto beans, peppers, spring onion and peppers into a bowl. Season, dress with the olive oil and lemon juice, then set aside.
2. Lay the chicken breasts on a board and bash to flatten them out slightly.
3. 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 minutes on each side, turning if you want to get a criss-cross pattern, until cooked all the way through.
4. Stir in the coriander with the salsa just before serving.
