Delicious warm chicken and bacon salad with a fruity twist.
Ingredients:
  • 46.80 gm wholegrain mustard
  • 57.20 gm honey
  • 80ml olive oil
  • 2 Free Range Chicken Breasts, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 4 rashers bacon, rind removed
  • 4 slices wood-fired bread, roughly torn
  • 1 avocado, peeled, sliced
  • 50g baby spinach
  • 2 baby cos lettuce, outer leaves discarded, leaves pulled apart
  • 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 125ml creme fraiche
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 190°C for a perfect start to your culinary masterpiece.
  • Mix the mustard, honey, half of the oil, garlic, and chicken in a dish. Chill until ready to use.
  • Prepare two small baking trays with parchment paper. Divide the bacon onto one tray and the bread onto the other. Drizzle the bread with the remaining oil. Bake in the oven for 5-6 minutes until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon, lower the oven temperature to 150°C, and continue baking the croutons for an additional 10 minutes or until they are crispy and golden. Break the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  • Combine the avocado with the spinach, cos leaves, tomatoes, and onion in a large serving bowl.
  • Separate the chicken from the marinade. In a large non-stick pan over medium heat, cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Combine the chicken with the salad. In the same pan, add the reserved marinade and creme fraiche, cook until bubbling. Pour the sauce over the salad, toss well, and serve warm.
