Chicken and Chorizo Salad Recipe with Beans and Rocket Leaves by Gino D’Acampo

Every now and then I go on a health kick and watch what I eat, especially in the evenings.

However, there are only so many salads you can have before you start to get a bit bored, especially during the winter months – but this salad recipe is an amazing option: filling, delicious and incredibly good for you but at the same time it won’t leave you feeling hard done by, unlike some salads.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

100g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
100g can borlotti beans, drained and rinsed
20 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 medium hot red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, peeled and finely sliced
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1cm strips
100g hot chorizo sausage, cut into thin round slices
60g rocket leaves
Salt, to taste

Method:

1. Put all the beans in a large bowl with the tomatoes, chilli and garlic. Pour over the lemon juice with half the olive oil, season with salt, toss all together and set aside.
2. Place a large frying pan over a high heat and pour in the remaining oil. Add the chicken strips and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
3. Season with salt, add the chorizo and continue to fry for a further 2 minutes over a high heat.
4. Toss the rocket leaves through the bean salad and transfer to a large serving plate. Top with the crispy chicken and chorizo and serve immediately.
