Warm Chicken Avocado Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Tip the sunflower seeds into a large non-stick frying pan and swirl around for 1-2 minutes over a high heat until lightly toasted. Tip from the pan and set aside. Pour the olive oil into the pan and stir-fry the chicken pieces over a high heat for 4-6 minutes until golden but still moist inside.
• Meanwhile, cook the green beans in lightly salted water for 3-4 minutes until tender, yet still crisp. Cool under the cold tap, drain and set aside.
• Break up the blue cheese in a bowl. Add the fromage frais and milk and mix until smooth. Season with black pepper.
• Toss the vegetables together in a bowl, add the hot chicken and sunflower seeds. Pile on four plates, drizzle over the dressing and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Press a scant tablespoon parsley onto skin side of each breast. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place breasts, skin side down, in skillet; cook until golden, about 8 minutes per side.
• Remove chicken from skillet, and transfer to a roasting pan. Place roasting pan in oven. Roast until chicken cooks through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, return skillet to stove. Add onion; cook, stirring, until just golden, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add wine; scrape skillet's bottom to release cooked-on juices. Cook until wine is almost evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar; cook 1 minute more. Stir in remaining parsley; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat; stir in butter.
• Remove chicken from oven. Place spinach on plates. Slice each breast into sixths; arrange over spinach. Spoon mushroom mixture over chicken, drizzling juices over spinach, and serve.

Steps:

• Process chicken in a food processor until finely chopped. Add avocado, sour cream, black pepper, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt; process until completely combined and almost pureed.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the chicken marinade.
• Toss in the chicken thighs and marinate for at least one hour.
• In a cast-iron skillet, cook chicken on high heat until there is a nice sear on the surface of the chicken, and the inside is no longer pink. Roughly four minutes each side. Set chicken aside.
• Place chopped lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and avocados in a large salad bowl.
• Slice cooked chicken thighs and add to the salad bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing. Mix well.
• Toss the salad with the dressing and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, toss avocado with 1 tablespoon lemon juice; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, grapes, apple, celery, mayonnaise, walnuts, ginger and remaining lemon juice. Stir in avocado. Serve on lettuce-lined plates if desired.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts into finger strips.
• In a bowl, combine the mustard, honey and lemon juice. Add the chicken strips to the mixture and season with black pepper.
• Heat the sunflower oil in a wok or large frying pan until very hot. Add the chicken mixture and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes or until golden and cooked.
• Meanwhile, slice the avocado, toss with the salad leaves and pile onto 4 large plates.
• Add the sesame seeds to the chicken in the wok and stir-fry for a further minute or until seeds are just beginning to colour.
