Method

  1. Mix the ingredients for the marinade using 1 tbsp. olive oil and add the chicken, making sure it's coated well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 

  2. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C Fan). Once the chicken has marinaded, spread out evenly on a non-stick baking sheet. Dizzle with a further 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Cook for 20 minutes.

  3. To make the salad, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a non-stick pan with a lid, add the smoked paprika, cumin and stir well. Add the peppers, onions and cook with the lid on a gentle heat until the vegetables are softened (approx. 15-20 minutes). Add 2-3 tbsp. water if the vegetables start to stick. Once cooked, add to a large severing bowl and leave aside to cool slightly.

  4. Drain and rinse the black beans and sweetcorn and then stir through the pepper and onion mix. 

  5. Add the tomatoes, avacardo and chopped coriander. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a jug and whisk well. Dress your salad and add slices of red chilli. 

  6. Serve the chicken with the salad, wraps, grated cheese and yogurt.
