Add some zing to your chicken with this satisfying and nutritious recipe - try it with salmon too

Serves 2
Preparation and cooking times
Prep 20 minutes
Cook 10 minutes

Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ tsp olive oil
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning , we used Bart (or make your own - see recipe, below)
For the salsa
400g can pinto beans , rinsed and drained
2 red peppers , diced
1 avocado , diced
2 spring onions , sliced
1 tbsp olives
juice 1 lemon
handful coriander , chopped

Method
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.

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 minutes 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.

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.
