Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Drizzle the chicken with 1 tbsp oil, season with salt and pepper and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender.
  3. While the chicken and potatoes are cooking, prepare a vinaigrette - mix the vinegar and 2 tbsp oil in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  4. Toss the vinaigrette with the rocket, new potatoes, cherry tomatoes and basil. Divide the salad between plates, top with the grilled chicken and serve immediately.
