Method
- Bring a small pan of salted water to the boil, add the chicken and poach over low heat for 15 minutes, until white right through; let it cool slightly and shred it.
- Meanwhile put the maize flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt and gradually add warm water (about one and a half times its volume), kneading until soft and crack-free. Shape 2 discs about 1.5 cm thick.
- Heat an oiled non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and cook the arepas for 6 minutes per side, until golden and they sound hollow when tapped.
- Finely chop the red onion and coriander. Mash the avocado with the yoghurt, lime juice, onion, coriander and a pinch of salt and stir in the chicken.
- Split the arepas into pockets and fill them with the lettuce and the reina pepiada.
