Ingredients

  • 150g chicken breast or thigh filet, fat trimmed 
  • 50g light sour cream or crème fraiche

  • 1 lemon, finely zested 
  • 20g toasted chopped walnuts

Method

  1. Place chicken in a small pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over medium heat 
  2. Turn heat down to low and gently simmer for another 5-7 minutes 
  3. When chicken is poached through (slice in a thick area and check flesh is no longer raw if unsure) remove from water and allow to cool for 5 minutes 
  4. Then shred chicken by tearing thin strips off and place in a bowl 
  5. In the bowl, add sour cream, tarragon, lemon zest and walnuts and mix well (don’t skimp on the lemon zest!) 
  6. Spoon onto bread, add salad and serve
