Lift the chicken breasts out of the marinade (discard any excess) and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat remaining. Arrange the lettuce, avocado and broccoli on plates. Slice the chicken and arrange on top. Spoon over the dressing and scatter with the salad cress.
