- Large handful of chopped Pams Cucumber

- Toast the coconut in a small frying pan over a gentle heat until just golden.
- Once coloured, transfer the coconut from the pan into a small bowl to prevent it from cooking further.

- Gently poach the chicken in the coconut liquid for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool in the liquid.
- Chop the cooled chicken into bite sized pieces.
- Shred the lettuce and arrange in a salad bowl with the cherry tomatoes, cucumber and chicken. Drizzle over 1/3 cup of the cooled coconut cooking liquid. Gently toss to combine.
- Sprinkle the coconut, peanuts, basil and coriander leaves over the salad.
