Chicken, Salami and Cannellini
This came about through using up bits and bobs that were left-over from other meals so is likely to be reasonably forgiving to substitutions. You could swap in chorizo instead of salami, chicken breast instead of thighs - though only if you must.

We had this with a salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, beetroot, avocado and plenty of feta which suited it perfectly
