Method
1. Mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Place the chicken breasts in a dish and pour over half the dressing. Marinate overnight in the fridge. Refrigerate the remaining dressing.
2. Cook the mangetout for 2 minutes in boiling water, then refresh in cold water. Tear the lettuces into small pieces and mix all the other salad ingredients and the bacon together. Arrange the salad on individual dishes.
3. Cook the chicken breasts on a medium barbecue for 10-15 minutes, basting with the marinade and turning once, until cooked through. Slice them on the diagonal into thin pieces. Divide between the bowls of salad and add some of the dressing to each dish. Combine quickly and scatter some fresh coriander over each bowl.
