    10 to 30 minutes

Method

  1. Season the chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Spray a large non-stick frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. Cook the chicken pieces for 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Spray the pan with a little more oil and cook the pepper for 3 minutes on each side or until lightly charred and beginning to soften.
  3. Arrange the lettuce leaves, watercress, tomatoes, cucumber and pepper on two plates.
  4. Slice the chicken breasts and scatter on top of salad. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and squeeze the lemon juice over. Season with black pepper and serve.

Notes

If you want to serve your salad cold, let the chicken and peppers cool completely before adding to the salad. Cover and chill. Dress with the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice just before serving.
