- 1 tbsp Honey (we love Mother Earth)
- 1 Lemon - zest & Juice
- ½ cup Olive Oil (we love Olivado)

Method
- Rub the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a frypan over a medium-high heat. Fry off the butterflied chicken breast until perfectly cooked. Set aside covered to rest.
- Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate large heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over a medium/hot heat. Being very careful not burn yourself, deep fry ⅓ of the noodles until golden and crispy. Drain excess oil with kitchen towel.
- To make the dressing, place the honey, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, whole grain mustard and chilli flakes in a bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Shred the chicken and in a beautiful serving dish combine with the avocado, coriander, mint, parsley, cabbage and tomatoes. Break up noodles into clusters and add to the salad. Drizzle over dressing and serve immediately.
