Method

  1. Poach the chicken in simmering water 12 minutes, until it reads 74°C (165°F), then cool it.
  2. Whisk the lemon juice, mustard, oil and pepper into a dressing.
  3. Cut the chicken, avocado, cos, tomatoes, cucumber and red onion into small even dice. Fold the dressing and dill through just before eating.
Chef’s tipChop everything to the same small dice, including the lettuce. That is the whole difference between a chopped salad and a salad with things on it: you stop hunting for the chicken.
KeepKeeps 2 days chilled. Cut the avocado only when you eat it. Does not freeze; it is raw throughout.
SwapNo dill? Parsley, or a tablespoon of chopped chives.
Pack itLayer it: dressing at the bottom of the jar, chicken next, lettuce and avocado on top. Shake at the desk.
