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.
