1.
Cut chicken breasts into "tender" size pieces.
2.
Heat a medium skillet to high heat with olive oil. Once the oil is warm add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, then immediately add the chicken tender. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until chicken begins to cook.
3.
Next add the salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce & soy sauce. Sauté 5 more minutes. Add mustard & hot sauce. Continue to cook the chicken for 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of the tenders) stirring every few minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside to cool slightly.
4.
To make the salad combine the greens, diced avocado and tomato, and kidney beans in a large mixing bowl.
5.
Make the dressing in a small mixing bowl by combining the shallots, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Begin whisking and slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette.
6.
Dress the salad with the vinaigrette and toss in chicken tenders and cilantro leaves. Mix well and serve.
