Method

1. Preheat a non-stick griddle pan over a high heat. Place the chicken in between two layers of cling film and flatten with a rolling pin.

2. Spray the chicken with Fry light and season. Cook the chicken in the pan for 5-10minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove and allow to cool.

3. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain and transfer to a wide salad platter.

4. Blanch the mangetout in a pan of boiling water for 1-2 minutes and drain. Cut the chicken into strips and add the noodles, along with the mangetout, spring onions, carrot, peppers, beansprouts and coriander. Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together. Season to taste and pour over salad. Toss the salad together and serve.
