Juicy chicken, street corn salad and avocado combine in a quick, flavour-packed, heart-healthy bowl.
½ avocado, cut into wedges
325g (6) chicken tenderloins
3 teaspoons Mexican spice blend (see tip)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup drained, no added salt canned corn kernels
½ red capsicum, chopped
1 green spring onion, thinly sliced
½ cup coarsely chopped fresh coriander, plus extra sprigs to serve
¼ cup reduced fat plain Greek-style yoghurt
50g smooth feta cheese, crumbled
2 teaspoons lime juice, plus wedges to serve
Toss chicken with oil and 2 teaspoons of the spice mix in a large bowl to coat evenly.
Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Add corn, capsicum and remaining spice blend to the same pan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until heated through.
For salad, transfer warm corn mixture to a large bowl. Add onions, coriander, yoghurt, feta and lime juice. Season with pepper. Toss to combine.
Divide salad, chicken and avocado among two plates or containers. Sprinkle with extra coriander. Serve with lime wedges.
Serve warm or chilled. For a packed lunch, prepare recipe the night before. Pack into containers and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
