method
1. To make the dressing, put all the dressing ingredients, except the cornflour, into a small saucepan over a low heat and bring to the boil. Gradually add the cornflour mixture, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
2. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and spray lightly with oil. Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and shred.
3. To make the salad, put all the salad ingredients with the chicken into a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss together, making sure that all the ingredients are well coated.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve on large plates, squeezing the juice from half a lime over each portion.
