    Finely chop 2 tablespoons of the parsley and place in a large bowl. Add the chilli, oregano, sugar, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the paprika, 2 teaspoons of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the vinegar.

Thickly slice and place in a bowl with remaining paprika and 2 teaspoons of the remaining oil. Toss to coat. Cook potato with chicken for 2-3 mins each side or until golden.
  • Step 4
    Place the rocket, tomato, onion and the remaining parsley, oil and vinegar in a bowl and toss to combine. Season. Add potato and gently toss to combine. Arrange on a serving platter and top with the chicken.
