Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
handful coriander leaves, to serve
handful radishes, sliced, to serve
handful red chilli, thinly sliced, to serve
handful sesame seeds, to serve

For the marinade

1 tbsp jerk seasoning
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp onion granules
½ tsp garlic granules (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
1 tbsp clear honey

For the dressing

2 oranges (scrubbed), zest of all, juice of ½
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp clear honey

For the salad

½ pineapple, peeled and sliced
200g red cabbage, shredded
200g pointed spring cabbage, shredded
3 salad onions, sliced
½ orange, divided into segments
½ avocado, finely chopped (optional)

Method

Cut 3 slits into each chicken breast. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the chicken, cover and chill for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients except the honey; set aside.
Heat a griddle pan over a high heat, then cook the pineapple for 1-2 minutes on each side until grill marks appear; set aside to cool. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through, the juices run clear and no pink meat remains. Transfer to a plate to cool, then cut into strips or bitesized chunks. Cover and chill if not using straightaway.
In a large bowl, mix all the salad ingredients; add the chicken. Strain the dressing through a sieve into a bowl (discard the orange zest). Stir in the honey. Top the salad with the coriander, radishes, red chilli and sesame seeds, then toss through the dressing.
