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.
