Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle of water to the boil. Preheat BBQ grill or hot plate to medium-high (if using).
  2. Prep & cook salad. Place broccoli and salt in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for 5-6 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain, rinse briefly under cold water and leave to drain well.
  3. Add remaining salad ingredients to a bowl, along with drained broccoli. Toss well to combine and season.
  4. Prep chicken. Pat chicken dry and cut into steaks. Place hand on top of chicken and slice through horizontally.
  5. Rub chicken with chicken spice mix and season. Heat 1½ tsp oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat.

  7. Prep garnishes.
  8. Serve salad topped with chicken and drizzle over resting juices. Top with mint, feta and pumpkin seeds.
