Prepare the crispy rice: preheat the oven to 200 °C. Place the cooled cooked rice on a baking sheet. Toss it with olive oil and spices. Bake for 30‑35 minutes, stirring halfway through (be careful not to burn it). -
In the meantime, season the chicken with the spices and coat it well. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot enough, add the chicken. Fry until it is cooked through and then remove from the heat.

Chop all the ingredients for the salad (lettuce, cucumber, onion and mint) and put them in a large bowl. Add the chicken and crispy rice.

In a blender, blend all the ingredients for the dressing until a smooth and creamy consistency is formed. Taste and season if necessary.
