Directions
- Minse the anchovy fillets and mix them with tomato paste, oil, and spices in a medium bowl to form the marinade.
- Pat the chicken dry and coat it with the marinade, massaging it so the flavors spread evenly.
- Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Coat the cooking surface with a little oil, then cook the chicken until it is cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Wash and dry the red bell pepper, then trim, seed, and dice it on a clean cutting board. Place the pepper in a clean bowl.
- Add shredded cabbage, pumpkin seeds, and dressing to the bowl with the pepper; toss to combine the salad.
- Divide the chicken and the pepper-cabbage salad onto plates and serve.
Two tips
- Prep the salad ingredients ahead of time and refrigerate; assemble just before serving for freshness.
- If you have extra pumpkin seeds, sprinkle a few on top of the salad for extra crunch, or serve the salad with a dollop of extra dressing on the side.
