Served with crusty bread, this is really a meal on its own, rather than just a salad. - Gonj

Ingredients

2 chicken breast fillets fat trimmed
3 1/2 tbs olive oil
3 bacon rashers cut into strips
2 roma tomatoes sliced
110 g mixed salad leaves
1 avocado sliced
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
50 g parmesan cheese shaved *to serve *optional

Method

Season chicken well on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Keep warm.
Step 2

Cook the bacon in the same pan until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels. Gently toss the tomato, lettuce, avocado and bacon together in a bowl.
Step 3

Cut the chicken into thin, diagonal slices, then add to the salad.
Step 4

Whisk the vinegar and remaining oil together until well combined.
Step 5

Pour over salad and toss again.
Step 6

Season with salt and pepper, garnish with Parmesan cheese and serve.
