Method
- To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together until smooth.
- Heat a griddle pan. Put the chicken between 2 sheets of clingfilm and bash with a rolling pin to an even thickness of about 1cm, then season and rub with olive oil.
- Put the chicken breasts on the hot griddle pan (you may need to cook in batches) and cook for 5 mins. Turn and continue cooking for 5-8 mins or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove and leave to rest for 5 mins, then thickly slice and set aside.
- While the chicken is cooking, put the bacon in a nonstick frying pan and fry until crisp. Set aside to cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- To assemble the salad, arrange all the ingredients in rows on a large plate or platter. Drizzle with the dressing to serve.
