- ¼ tsp smoked paprika

Salad:
- ½ cup cucumber, chopped

- Add the coated chicken to the pan and cook about 5 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as necessary.
- Be sure that the chicken is fully cooked, remove from heat, and set aside.
- Once tenderloins are cool enough to handle, chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Whisk together GOOD FAT Aioli, lemon juice, dried dill, paprika, chives and GOOD Sauce Hot Habanero in a bowl until well combined.
- Assemble all the prepared ingredients in a large salad bowl, garnish with spring onion, spoon the dressing on the salad before serving, and toss.
