Method
- Whisk the oil, lime juice and some seasoning together in a shallow dish. Add the chicken breasts, turn to coat, then leave to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Roast the tomatoes in a non-stick roasting tin for 4-5 minutes, until the skins just burst. Remove from the oven and cut the vines into small sprigs of two or three tomatoes. Set aside.
- Drop the peas into a pan of salted boiling water, bring back to the boil, then drain. Refresh under cold water and drain well. Set aside.
- Scatter the lettuce, rocket, mint and spring onions over 4 plates.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over a high heat until smoking hot, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes each side, until cooked through. Slice and place on the salad.
- Halve, stone and peel the avocado, then slice over the salad. Add the tomatoes and scatter with the peas.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together, season and spoon over the salad. Serve immediately.
