Ingredients
Salad
- 1 skinless chicken breast fillet
- 6 rashers shortcut bacon (diced)
- 1 large cos lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 cup corn kernels (rinsed and drained)
- 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
Dressing/Marinade
- 1/3 cup Bee Cause Bush Honey
- 3 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic (minced)
Instructions
- To make the dressing/marinade, combine the honey, wholegrain mustard, dijon mustard, olive oil, vinegar and garlic in a jar or container. We like to use our Bee Cause Bush Honey 550g reusable measuring jar, it's perfect for shaking and storing.
- Place the lid on and shake until combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken fillets into a shallow dish and pour half the marinade over the chicken. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours to allow the chicken to marinate. Keep the reserved untouched marinade aside to use later as the dressing.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small frypan over medium heat and fry the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat a separate pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Grill the chicken fillet on either side until golden, crispy and cooked through. As you flip the chicken, use a pastry brush to baste each side with the marinade.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and slice it into strips.
- To assemble the salad, chop the cos lettuce into large pieces and place into a large serving bowl. Add the sliced tomatoes, avocado, corn, and onion, and top with the sliced chicken. Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the top.
- Drizzle the remaining untouched dressing over the salad to serve.
