Method

  1. Bring a small pan of salted water to the boil, add the chicken breast and simmer over a low heat for 12 minutes, until no longer pink inside; drain, let it cool slightly and shred it with two forks.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the maize flour with a pinch of salt and add lukewarm water a little at a time, kneading with your hands, until the dough is soft, smooth and doesn't crack; shape it into a disc about 1.5 cm thick.
  3. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat and cook the arepa for 6 minutes per side, until it has a golden crust and sounds hollow when tapped.
  4. While the arepa cooks, very finely chop the red onion and fresh coriander; mash the avocado with the Greek yoghurt, lime juice and a pinch of salt until creamy.
  5. Stir the onion, coriander and shredded chicken into the cream and mix well.
  6. Split the arepa open with a knife like a pocket and fill it with the chicken salad.
