1. 1

   Salad Dressing - Start by making salad dressing. Take all ingredients except olive oil and dill leaves in a bowl and mix well. Slowly add in the olive oil and mix well until it is emulsified. Now add in dill leaves and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Your salad dressing is ready.

2. 2

   Marinating Chicken - Take chicken breast on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice in the middle to butterfly the chicken breast and open like a book. Now slice it so you get 2 chicken breast from one. Add all ingredients given for marination and mix well. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes or overnight in fridge.

3. 3

   Grilling Chicken - Heat a grill pan on medium high heat. Grease lightly with olive oil. Let it heat up. Once the grill pan is hot enough, place the chicken breast on the pan and cook on high heat for 3 minutes. Don't touch the chicken at this point, so you get grill marks on the chicken.

4. 4

   Once it is cooked for 3 minutes, flip over and cook on other side for 2 more minutes. Since the chicken breast is sliced in half, it will cook faster and more evenly. Once chicken is grilled, remove it to a cutting board and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before chopping them.

5. 5

   Assembling Salad - Take a mixing bowl. I am using iceberg lettuce for the salad. You can chop the lettuce roughly. Add in cucumbers, carrots, boiled sweetcorn, feta cheese, tomatoes, sliced onions and bell peppers over the lettuce. Add in chopped chicken breast, toasted pecans and drizzle as much dressing as needed. Toss well and Serve immediately.
