Cajun Chicken Plantain Salad
- 2 whole Chicken Breast
- 2 Tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
- 1 whole Plantain
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil, Divided
- 3-1/4 ounces, weight Mixed Leaves (Arugula, Baby Spinach, Baby Red Chard)
- 10 whole Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1/2 teaspoons Raw Honey
- 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
- Rub chicken with Cajun seasoning. Marinate overnight if possible (optional).
- Place chicken in a large resealable bag and smash chicken with a rolling pin, until as flat as you can get it. Meanwhile, heat your griddle pan over high heat.
- Cut off the ends of plantain and then slice in half lengthwise. Slice each half again (in half) and dice.
- Place another pan or pot on medium heat and add half of the coconut oil.
- By now, griddle pan should be hot enough. Add chicken and cover with a lid. Let chicken cook for about 3-4 mins, then flip and cook for another 4-5 mins. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165u0b0F or chicken is cooked the whole way through.
- While chicken cooks, add diced plantains to the second pan and cook until brown and caramelised. Once done, remove and place on a towel or in a colander to drain excess oil.
- Prepare salad (wash and dry vegetables), then build your salad by placing the leaves at the bottom, followed by the chicken, plantain, tomatoes and avocado on top.
- For the sweet paprika sauce, mix honey, paprika and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil together and drizzle over salad. Serve and enjoy!
