Chicken Salad Recipe

Well after a lovely break away I am back to add more things on the food and living blog!

Last night we had the best chicken salad ever!

You will need:

2 small chicken thighs
1 small chicken breast
1 avocado
lettuce
carrot
Parmesan cheese
red capsicum
spring onions
1 onion or 2 small ones
about 6 mushrooms

Ok so first off you cut the chicken into cubes and add a good amount of cracked pepper and salt, and cook in a lightly sprayed pan until browned. Next you add the onion then once soft and slightly coloured add the mushrooms then cook until mushrooms are soft.

While the chicken is cooking shred a iceberg lettuce and grate finely carrot and Parmesan over the top of it. Add small diced pieces of red capsicum and spring onions over it. Once the chicken mix is cooked add it to the salad then add small pieces of diced avocado over the top. If you wish you can add a teaspoon of Aaoli but it will add more calories to the dish. Serve straight away!

The thing I like about this is that I don't need to add any other spice apart from salt and pepper to get a great flavour from the chicken and the chicken thighs actually make the chicken stay moist as chicken breast can sometimes be a little dry.
