Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. Cut tomato into wedges. Slice cucumber into half-moons. Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). Slice avocado in half, scoop out flesh and thinly slice. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, Kiwi spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
• Cut or tear wholemeal panini into bite-sized chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook panini and diced bacon until golden and slightly crispy, 5-6 minutes. • In the last minute of cook time, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Season to taste. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring regularly until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, water and brown sugar and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. • Wipe out and return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
• In a large bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, mixed salad leaves, caramelised onion, garlic croutons, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • Slice smokey chicken. • Divide garlic crouton salad between bowls. • Top with avocado slices, smokey chicken and drizzle over mayo to serve. Enjoy!
