Step-by-step
- If using a griddle only: heat a griddle and season the chicken with salt. Griddle for 6-7 minutes on each side.
- If using an oven, then barbecue: preheat the oven to 160C/gas mark 3 and season the chicken with salt. Bake for 20 minutes then place on a hot barbecue for about 1-2 minutes on each side until just coloured.
- Whichever of the above steps you chose, make sure the chicken is cooked through, there is no pink meat and the juices run clear.
- In the meantime, mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl.
- Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes then cut into cubes and add them to the sauce in the bowl. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
