Method
Dust each of the chicken breast portions with the cajun spices and leave to marinate in the fridge for 10 minutes
In a large, non-stick frying pan, drizzle a little olive oil and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side. Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through.
Set the chicken aside for a few minutes to rest while you arrange the salad
Use the iceberg lettuce to make a ‘bowl’ for the rest of the salad, and arrange accordingly
When ready to serve, slice the chicken portions through at a slant and pop on top of the salad
