Ingredients

  • 2 chicken fillets (breast or thigh)
  • 2 tbsp chermoula
  • Salt flakes, to season
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 60 g mixed salad leaves
  • 2 small cucumbers, roughly chopped
  • Apple cider vinegar, for drizzling
  • 1/3 cup natural yoghurt
Resting time: 5 minutes

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken fillets into a medium bowl and sprinkle with the chermoula and a generous pinch of salt flakes. Turn the chicken to coat well with the spice.
  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked, then transfer to a plate and allow to rest.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad leaves with the cucumber, then drizzle with the apple cider vinegar. Toss lightly to combine.
  4. Thinly slice the chicken, then add to the salad bowl with any resting juices. Toss to combine, then serve the chermoula chicken and cucumber salad with a dollop of yoghurt.
