1 Pour the chicken stock into a large lidded saucepan and bring to the boil. Slide in the chicken breasts – if the liquid doesn’t cover them, add a little more stock or water. Bring back up to the boil, then clamp on the lid and turn down the heat to low. Simmer for 10 min.

2 Remove the pan from the heat and leave the chicken in the warm stock for a further 10 min with the lid still on.

3 Meanwhile, make the dressing. Pour 4½ tablespoons of the oil into a saucepan and add the spring onions, rosemary, garlic, chilli and tomatoes, along with a good grinding of pepper. Set over a medium-low heat and cook for 10 min, being careful not to let the oil get too hot. Turn off the heat and leave the mixture to sit while you prepare the rest of the salad.

4 Heat the remaining ½ tablespoon oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. When it’s hot, tip in the breadcrumbs and fry for about 3 min or until they are crisp and golden. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a clean piece of kitchen roll to drain off the excess oil.

5 Carefully remove the cooked chicken from the stock and tear it up with your hands or a couple of forks. Put on a large serving plate along with the avocado, edamame and mozzarella chunks. Spoon over the warm tomato dressing, then top with the rocket and the fried breadcrumbs.
