Instructions

Put the spices for the marinade together and stir. Put the spices onto a plate and dip the chicken breast into the spices with both sides, so both sides have been covered with some spices.
Heat some oil or baking spray into a pan and fry the chicken. Put the heat on medium-high for two minutes and then lower the heat so that the chicken can cook slowly. Add the bacon into the pan with the chicken and fry until crispy.
Divide the lettuce over a plate. Cut the cucumber into slices and the tomatoes in halves and divide them over the lettuce. Cut the avocado into slices and put this on top of the lettuce too.
Make the dressing by mixing mayonnaise and lactose-free yoghurt together. Add pepper, salt and lemon juice to taste. If the dressing is too thick you can add a bit of water.
When the chicken is done on the inside, you can cut the chicken into slices and divide it over the lettuce together with the bacon. Put some fresh parsley on top and sprinkle the dressing over the salad.

Notes

*Tomatoes have been retested in 2022 and are now limited low FODMAP. I advise using a roma tomato instead of cherry tomatoes now, because roma tomatoes are low FODMAP in larger amounts. 75 gram of tomato per serving is low FODMAP.

**Monash University’s test results showed that 1/8 avocado is low FODMAP. FODMAP Friendly found that ½ avocado is low FODMAP. Because these are two different testing results, it is important to test your own tolerance level. I can eat half an avocado without problems, so I used half an avocado in this recipe. If you are still in the elimination phase my suggested serving size is 1/8 maximum.
