- 2 tablespoons chives (medium, 280 g/ 9.9 oz)
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Heat a griddle pan with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to prevent the chicken sticking (Option to use a frying pan).
- Fry the chicken breasts on a medium/ low heat for 2 minutes each side to seal them and then 4 5 further in total until brown on the outside and cooked through.
- Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
- Meanwhile, chop the chorizo and gently fry on a medium-low heat for about 2 minutes until the oil releases.
- If using raw chorizo cook for longer until the meat is cooked through.
- Add 1 tbsp of olive oil or butter to a clean saucepan (I prefer olive oil as this makes up the dressing) and sauté the onion on a low-medium heat for 4 - 5 minutes until soft.
- Take off the heat and stir in the red wine vinegar and coconut aminos.
- Add the chorizo and its oil.
- Blanch the sugar snap peas in a pan of boiling water for 1 minute and then plunge immediately into cold.
- Remove from the water and slice in half.
- Chop the herbs.
- Stir through the sugar snap peas, chorizo and onion mix and top with sliced avocado, chicken, pine nuts and cracked black pepper.
- Tastes best fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for 1 day.
