Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken for four–6 mins, until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove and set apart.

3. Assemble the Salad:

Place the lettuce or mixed vegetables in a huge serving bowl or on a plate.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

Tips and Variations

For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the chook seasoning.

Use leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie fowl for a faster model.

Add pickled jalapeños or a squeeze of lime for added zing.
