Method

Put the chicken in a bowl with ½ tbsp vegetable oil, half the lemon zest and the oregano. Set aside to marinate for 10 mins.
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat until smoking hot, then cook the chicken for 2-3 mins each side until well charred. Transfer to a baking tray. Toss the leek with the asparagus, broccoli and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Transfer the leek chunks to a griddle and cook for 1-2 mins each side until char lines appear. Add to the baking tray with the chicken and the broccoli. Bake for 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, griddle the asparagus for 4-5 mins, turning regularly, until charred and tender.
Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and honey together; season well. Slice the chicken and toss with all the vegetables, the lettuce, dressing and cheese. Scatter with the remaining lemon zest to serve.

Tip: Cook the veg up to 24 hrs ahead; assemble the salad when ready to serve.
