Method

step 1

Rub the oil over the chicken breasts, then season well with salt and pepper. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and cook the chicken for about 10-15 mins on each side, or until cooked through with char lines. Remove to a board and set aside.
step 2

Cook the bulgur wheat following pack instructions, then leave to cool. Cook the green beans in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 mins until tender.
step 3

Meanwhile, put all the dressing ingredients in a small food processor along with the stalks from the dill and parsley. Blitz until the stalks are finely chopped and everything is combined.
step 4

Combine the herb leaves, chives, lettuce, cucumber, avocados, cooked bulgar wheat and green beans in a large bowl or over a large platter. Drizzle over the dressing and toss to coat. Slice the chicken and arrange it on top of the salad, then scatter over some more grated Grana Padano.
