Step 1: You will need...

  • for the salad:
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 4 avocados
  • 2 mangos
  • 1 small bunch of mint leaf
  • 1 ltr chicken stock
  • salt and pepper
  • for the vinaigrette:
  • 750 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 inch of ginger
  • baby gem lettuce leaves
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 medium pan with lid
  • 1 colander
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 large knife

Step 2: Poach the chicken

Place the medium pan on a medium heat. Add the chicken fillets and enough chicken stock to cover. Stir, cover, and bring to the boil. Once boiling turn down to a simmer and allow the chicken to poach for twenty minutes.

Step 3: Drain the chicken

Pour the chicken and stock into a colander and drain. Transfer the chicken fillets back to the pan and allow to cool for ten minutes.

Step 4: Make the vinaigrette

Put the lime juice into a small bowl. Follow with the ginger, garlic and season with salt and pepper. Add the oil and whisk well to combine.

Step 5: Slice the chicken

Using the large knife slice the cooled chicken into large chunks and transfer into a large bowl.

Step 6: Assemble the dish

Add the mint to the large bowl, then the avocados, mango, and dressing, reserving a tiny amount for later. Combine well, using your hands for best results.

Step 7: Garnish and serve

Arrange a few lettuce leaves onto a serving plate. Heap a generous serving of the salad on top and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Crown with a sprig of mint and serve.
