Method
Brush chicken with oil and salt. Roast at 190°C for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until 74°C in the thickest part; rest for 8 minutes and slice.

Chef’s notes
- Cook to temperature, rather than relying on breast size or a fixed time.
- When scaling, adjust pan or tin size and work in batches where needed; cooking and proving times follow texture and temperature, not the portion multiplier.
Keeping
Keep cooked components and dressing refrigerated separately at 4°C or below for up to 2 days. Assemble leaves, herbs and avocado just before eating; do not store a dressed salad for later service.
Allergens and diet
