Instructions

Prepare the marinade by mixing together all the marinade ingredients except the chicken.
Butterfly the chicken breasts or slice them in half horizontally to make them thinner and easier to cook on the griddle.
Pour half of the marinade on the chicken and put it in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Brush a little oil onto a griddle pan. When it's hot, put the chicken on to cook.
Griddle for about 4 minutes on each side until cooked through. When ready, slice the chicken into about strips.
Boil the green beans for about 3 minutes and then drain and place in cold water immediately.
Put the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan. Keep shaking every 30 seconds to turn them. When they begin to turn golden, remove them from the the heat and let them cool a little.
When the hazelnuts are cool enough to handle, chop them into halves or quarters. Or leave whole.
Drain the green beans and pat dry. Mix the beans, lettuce and apple together and toss with some of the dressing. Divide between 2 plates.
Scatter on a few hazelnuts. Top with the chicken. Scatter on a few more hazelnuts. Drizzle the rest of the dressing over the top. Serve immediately so the chicken is still warm.
