Method

 

1) Preheat the grill to medium-high.

 

2) Season the chicken, lightly spray with low calorie cooking spray and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and shred or slice thickly.

 

3) Meanwhile, spray a heavy frying pan with low calorie cooking spray, add the bacon strips and fry gently over a medium heat. When crisp, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

 

4) Whisk all the dressing ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Stir in half the Parmesan and season well.

 

5) Place the lettuce leaves and tomatoes in a bowl and toss with half of the dressing to coat thoroughly. Scatter over the chicken and bacon and finish with the remaining dressing and Parmesan, plus a good grinding of black pepper.

 

6) Cool, cover and chill until you’re ready to eat.
