Cooking Steps

1
  • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
  • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
  • In the last minute of cook time, add the honey, turning chicken to coat. Transfer to serving plates, season and cover to keep warm. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink in the middle.
2
  • Meanwhile, slice capsicum into strips.
  • Roughly chop cucumber, kalamata olives, baby spinach leaves and dill. Drain and rinse cannellini beans. 
3
  • Wash out frying pan and return to medium-high heat, with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Cook capsicum, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. 
4
  • To bowl with charred capsicum, add baby spinach leaves, olives, cucumber, cannellini beans, dill, a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vingear. Toss to combine and season to taste. 
  • Divide charred capsicum salad between plates with chicken. Drizzle over green dressing. Enjoy!

TIP: kalamata olives have a strong flavour – add less if desired.

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The chicken was widely enjoyed, though several found the overall dish mild, particularly with the white beans. Adding more dressing helped lift the flavour for some.
  • Ease of prep: Most found the recipe straightforward, though a few felt the combination of ingredients felt like a mishmash rather than a cohesive dish.
  • Suggestions: If you find the beans bland, try reducing the quantity or swapping for lentils. Some also suggested adding a crunchy element to improve the texture of the salad.
  • Portions: Larger households may want to scale up the recipe, as some found the serving size on the smaller side.
