Step 1

Set a medium-sized saucepan on the stove and fill with about 5-7 cm of water (you want enough to fully submerge the chicken) plus a pinch of salt. Bring the water to boil and gently add in the chicken breasts. Return to boil and then immediately reduce to a very low, slight simmer. Cover and leave to cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness. Once done, remove the chicken breasts from the poaching liquid** and allow to cool.

Step 2

While the chicken is cooking, prepare your rice noodles in accordance with the packet instructions (usually boiling for 5-10 minutes). Allow to cool.

Step 3

Finely chop the lettuce and spring onion, and grate the carrot and the zucchini.

Step 4

Prepare the salad dressing by combining the tahini, sesame oil, tamari and juice of the lime in a mug or small bowl and whisking together with a fork. Thin out the dressing using water, or unsweetened almond milk (for a creamier dressing). Taste test and adjust as necessary by adding a little extra of any of the ingredients that you prefer.

Step 5

Arrange the salads. Divide the lettuce, carrot, courgette and rice noodles between two bowls or containers. Slice or shred the chicken breasts as preferred and divide between the two serves. Drizzle over the dressing and finish by sprinkling over the chopped spring onion. Add sesame seeds and/or fresh herbs if you're using them.
