4. Transfer to lined baking tray and bake in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes.

6. Mix all dressing ingredients together in a jug, and combine with salad.
7. Serve on a plate or in a burger bun or wrap.

A note from Anna

Recipe uses 1.2kg of thighs which means each burger/wrap contains 100g per serve. For a milder flavour swap mint/coriander for parsley.

If you can not prepare raw chicken in the canteen, this recipe also works with plain precooked chicken, follow the same steps but only pan fry until chicken is heated and skip cooking in the oven.
