Method
1. In a food processor, blitz together the chilli, garlic, ginger, water and creamed coconut.2. Add the herbs, lime zest and juice and whiz until smooth. The dressing can be stored in the fridge and kept well in advance, but it may be necessary to warm slightly for 10 seconds in a microwave before serving if it is colder than room temperature.
3. Season the chicken with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat half of the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken until golden.
4. Cut the potatoes lengthways and put in a mixing bowl, add the little gem, rocket and tomato and toss with the remaining olive oil. Season to taste. Divide the salad equally between four plates and top with the chicken strips.
5. Drizzle with the dressing, scatter over the spring onions and red mustard cress and serve immediately.
