For the chimichurri dressing
  • 1 green chilli, seeds removed, or 1 tbsp pickled jalapeños
  • 1 x 30g pack flat-leaf parsley, leaves only

Step by step

Get ahead
Prepare the dressing and salad elements (except the avocado) a few hours ahead and keep covered in the fridge.
  1. For the dressing, finely chop the chilli or jalapeños, along with the parsley. Place in a bowl with the shallot, garlic, chilli flakes, vinegar and oil. Season, mix well, taste to check the seasoning and set aside for serving.
  2. Remove the flesh from the chicken and discard the skin and bones. Arrange the salad leaves on a large platter. Top with the other ingredients and serve the dressing alongside, letting guests help themselves.
