Method
Bring chicken stock to the boil. Place the chicken breast in the stock and cover pot with a lid. Turn the heat off and allow the chicken to poach for 45 minutes. This step can be done the day before. Once the chicken is firm to the touch you will know it is ready. With your fingers pull the chicken apart into threads and reserve.
For the dressing combine all ingredients in a bowl.
To assemble, mix the cooled chicken with all the vegetables, nuts and fetta. Finally pour over the dressing and toss well before serving.
