Method

• step 1

  Heat 2 tsp oil in a large non-stick pan over a low heat, add the peppers then cover and cook for 10 mins until softened. Shake the pan a couple of times to move them about, but try not to lift the lid. Remove from the pan and set aside.

• step 2

  Meanwhile, mix the chicken in a bowl with the remaining 1 tsp oil, grated garlic, ¼ tsp oregano, paprika and ½ tsp coriander. Toss the onion with 1 tbsp lime juice in a separate bowl and set aside.

• step 3

  To make the dressing, scoop the unsliced halved avocado into a bowl with the whole garlic clove, pinch of oregano, 2 tbsp lime juice and 3 tbsp water and blitz with a hand blender until completely smooth. Alternatively, you can use a food processor.

• step 4

  Return the pan of peppers to the heat and add the chicken, cover and cook for 5 mins until tender and cooked through. Tip the beans, quick-pickled onions and chopped coriander into the pan and mix well.

• step 5

  Pile the spinach onto two plates and top with the chicken mixture. Spoon on the avocado dressing and top with the avocado slices. Serve while still warm.
