Method:

Spray a large, heavy-based non-stick frying pan with your low calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat, adding your Peri Peri chicken strips.
Fry for 8-12 minutes. As your chicken cooks, turn it occasionally so it browns evenly. If your chicken strips brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook until the juices run clear (170oC on an instant-read thermometer)
In a bowl combine your mixed salad leaves, avocado, cherry tomatoes and quinoa.
Create your salad dressing by mixing together your lime, yogurt, garlic, vinegar and cumin, whilst whisking in your olive oil.
Place your chicken onto your salad and drizzle with your dressing.
