Method

Step 1

Put the chicken breasts between two sheets of cling film and beat with a rolling pin until 1cm thick. Stir together the yogurt, lemon and thyme and season with pepper.

Step 2

Put the chicken and marinade in a bowl and leave for 15 mins.

Step 3

Meanwhile, put the mooli, cucumber, onions, bean spouts and cress in a large salad bowl and toss.

Step 4

Add the avocado, vinegar, oil, coriander and yogurt to a blender and blitz until smooth. Cook the chicken on a BBQ, in a chargrill pan or under the grill for approx. 8 mins, turning once until cooked through. Check that no pink flesh is visible and that the juices run clear when pierced at the thickest part of the chicken.

Step 5

Drizzle the dressing over the salad, scatter over the sesame seeds, add the sliced chicken on top and serve.
