This dish also tastes delicious with a handful of cooked pasta thrown in!
Method
Preheat oven to 140°C, 275°F, Gas Mark 1.
Place the chicken breast on a wire in a roasting tin.
Carefully add a little freshly boiled water to the tray. (this
will have the effect of steaming the chicken and will keep it
succulent).
Place the chicken in the oven for approximately 20-25 mins.
Slice through the middle to ensure it is cooked.
Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Add all the ingredients for the dressing together and blitz
with hand blender to form a smooth paste.
Slice the chicken breast into pieces approximately 5mm
thick.
Add to a container along with the bacon pieces and baby
asparagus.
Add halved potatoes if desired. (If using for a picnic make
sure you add the afore mentioned to a portable container with
lid)Add the dressing to taste and mix through. (you may not need
all of the dressing but it will keep for a few days).
Garnish with a few shavings of Pecorino Sardo and serve.
Gaynor's Tip: This dish is at its best eaten
fresh. If you are making it in advance you may want to keep the
dressing in a separate lidded container and add just before
serving.
