1 Marinate the chicken Blend all the marinade ingredients with a stick blender and pour over the chicken in a glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2 Drain the marinated chicken and pat dry (it’s not necessary to remove all the marinade). Shallow-fry the chicken in olive oil – or, even better, cook it in a kettle braai for a smoky flavour. Rest for 10 minutes.
3 Assemble the salad Combine all the salad ingredients together, top with the cooked chicken and serve.
