Recipe Directions
INSTRUCTIONS
- Make a quick dressing by mixing the olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and set aside.
- Mix together the turmeric powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Season with salt. Drop the chicken pieces into the bowl to coat.
- Heat the avocado oil in a pan and cook the chicken until they are done. Remove from the heat and set aside. (Alternatively, you can skewer the spiced pieces onto a kebab stick and grill over the BBQ, then carefully remove from the skewer sticks.)
- Toss the salad leaves and cucumber in the salad dressing and top with the cooked chicken pieces. Add the beetroot, onion slices, and parsley.
