Before you start

  • Turn the grill to high (240C)
  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large bowl & a sieve

Cook the potatoes

  • Halve the potatoes (quarter any larger ones), then add to the saucepan and simmer for 11-13 mins, until just soft
  • Add the peas in the final 1 min, then drain together and allow to cool slightly

Time to grill

  • Place chicken thighs flat onto the foil-lined tray and toss with half the garlic paste, one-third of the maple & mustard dressing and 1 tsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for 4 mins
  • Trim the asparagus and cut into thirds. After 4 mins, place the asparagus alongside the chicken and toss with 1/2 tsp oil, salt and pepper
  • Grill for a further 12 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is soft and golden

Finish the prep

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the spring onion. Trim and thinly slice the lettuce. Halve the tomatoes (quarter any larger ones)
  • In the large bowl, combine the remaining garlic paste, remaining maple & mustard dressing, 2 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Bring everything together

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
  • Once the chicken is cooked, shred apart with two forks
  • Add the potatoes, peas, tomatoes, spring onion and shredded chicken to the dressing bowl. Toss to coat

Plate up

  • Add the lettuce and salad leaves to the bowl and toss again to combine, then serve into bowls. Drizzle over any chicken juices from the tray. Top with the grilled asparagus
