- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Notes
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight to enhance the flavors. This salad is perfect for outdoor barbecues; you can grill the chicken and tomatoes instead of roasting them. Serve immediately for the freshest taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
