2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
150 g shredded radicchio
150 gr shredded lettuce

2-3 tbs olive oil
1/2 tbsp orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

First you need to prepare the citrus marinade. Take a small bowl and mix all ingredients.
Put the chicken breasts in non-metallic dish and reserve 2 tbsp for basting while baking them in the ewan.
Pour the citrus marinade over the chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly
Cover and leave them in refrigerator for about 30 min

Prepare the dressing

Mix the lemon juice, cumin, soy sauce and olive oil in a bowl and set aside.
After 30 mins, remove the chicken breasts from the citrus marinade and put the rest of it aside
Then place thr chicken breasts on a foil lined baking sheet
Cook the chicken, and occasionally turn it and brush it with the reserved citrus marinade
Do this for about 10 mins until you feel that skewer easily enters the meet and juices are all clear

The salad and serving

Take a platter or a glass bowl if you prefer, put the shredded lettuce and radicchio.
Toss over 2-3 tbsp of the lemon dressing earlier prepared
Cut the chicken breasts into 1 cm slices and toss over the salad
Put some sliced avocado and pour over the remaining dressing

If you want to make some alterations to the original recipe, see which taste you prefer to be dominant. Also, you can use grilled tofu instead of chicken breasts which is good variation of the citrus salad.

When it is all set, sprinkle some chopped coriander, toasted nuts, sliced spring onion or red onion, peeled slices of orange or whatever you please and you are all done!

Bon appetit!
