Method

  1. Rub the chicken with the paprika, half the oil and the salt and cook it in a hot pan 5 minutes a side, to 165°F (74°C). Rest it, then slice across the grain.
  2. Cut the pepper into strips and cook them in the same pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, turning, until soft and golden at the edges.
  3. Whisk the yogurt with the lemon juice and the rest of the oil. Toss the arugula, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper and chicken through it and add the avocado last.
Chef’s tipSame pan, medium heat. The pepper goes into the pan the chicken left and takes up what it left behind. Medium heat makes it soft and sweet; high heat only toughens the skin.
Make it twoDoubles cleanly. Cook double the chicken — it is the base of two other salads in this chapter.
