Jerk Chicken Salad

I made this last night and it is adapted from Hungry Healthy Happy. The Jerk seasoning is really good and much better than purchased seasoning.
If you don't like avocados they can be omitted. I also had some of the left over chicken on my sandwich today and it was just as good cold:)

Jerk Chicken and Avocado salad

– 2 chicken breasts ( or enough for 4 people)
– 1 tbsp fresh thyme
– A pinch of cinnamon
– 1/2 tap chilli powder
– 2 tbsp fresh coriander (cilantro)
– 1 tbsp honey
– 3 garlic cloves, crushed
– 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
– Juice of 1 lime
– 1 tsp all spice
– 1 tbsp crushed black pepper
– A pinch of sea salt
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 avocado, sliced
– 1 red pepper, diced
– 2 medium tomatoes, diced
– 4 handfuls of lettuce
- crumbled Feta cheese 
1) Put the thyme, cinnamon, chilli powder, coriander, honey, garlic, ginger, lime juice, all spice, salt, pepper and oil in to a blender with a couple of tablespoons of water and blend until it is a paste. If you don’t have a blender, then you can use a pestle and mortar.
2) Rub the paste over the chicken and put in the oven at 180C/350F for approximately 40 minutes.
3) Divide the lettuce, tomato and red pepper between 4 plates. When the chicken is cooked slice and put over the lettuce, top with the avocado and some crumbled Feta cheese
Enjoy😀
