Steps:
- Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Put the chicken breasts in the bag and mix thoroughly to cover. Bash the chicken with a rolling pin to flatten it a little, then set aside to marinate for at least 15 mins.
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
- For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
- Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the chicken breasts on it and grill for 5 mins, checking occasionally. Once golden brown, turn and grill for a further 5-7 mins. Check the middle of the breasts after 5 mins and, if cooked through, remove from the heat.
- Set aside 2 chicken breasts and 2 tbsp guacamole for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with', right). Place 1 warm chicken breast on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.

- Combine Cajun seasoning ingredients together in a shallow bowl, and mix well to combine. Reserve 1 teaspoon of seasoning to use in the dressing, and set aside.
- Lightly coat each chicken fillet in the seasoning on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a grill pan (or on a grill or skillet) over medium-high heat until hot (not smoking). Sear / grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. (Grill in batches to prevent excess water being released.) Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
- Prepare salad with the lettuce leaves, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado slices and onion slices. Slice chicken into strips and arrange on top of the salad.
- Mix the reserved cajun seasoning with the mayonnaise and yogurt (or sour cream). At the point, you can add extra mayo or yogurt (sour cream), salt or pepper, adjusting to your tastes.
