Cooking instructions

1.

Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air, then preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6

Rip the ciabatta[s] into rough, bite-sized pieces, then add it to a baking tray with 1/2 tbsp [1 tbsp] of olive oil and a pinch of salt

Put the tray in the oven for 8-10 min or until golden and crispy – these are your crispy croutons

Meanwhile, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1/2 tbsp [1 tbsp] olive oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot add the chicken breast strips with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 2

Whilst the chicken is cooking, combine the Henderson's Relish, sriracha and cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a small bowl – this is your buffalo sauce

Step 3

Chop the chives finely

Combine the natural yoghurt, dried oregano and half the chopped chives (save the rest to garnish!) in a small bowl

Cut the cucumber into quarters lengthways, then slice finely

Wash the lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and roughly chop

Add 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of salt and give it a good mix up – this is your salad
