Instructions: 1 To Poach the Chicken: Put in a large saucepan. Pare off the lemon zest with a vegetable parer and add to the pan.

2 Squeeze the lemon juice and add with the remaining ingredients. Add water to cover. Boil and simmer for 40-50 minutes until cooked. Let the chicken cool in its broth, remove and discard the skin and bones. Shred half the meat and save the rest for another dish.

3 For the Dressing: Whisk the vinegar with the sugar and salt until dissolved and whisk in the cream. Add the pepper, taste and adjust the seasoning.

4 If using broad beans, let the frozen beans defrost. If they are fresh, blanch in boiling water for a minute or two and drain.

5 Continue by slitting open the tough grey outer skin and squeezing out the tender, bright green beanlet lodged inside. Simmer for a few minutes in a fresh batch of lightly salted water before draining thoroughly.

6 Before serving arrange the shredded little gem in the base of a bowl and lay the chicken over it. Scatter the peach slices, rose petals and mint leaves and the peas or beans over the chicken. Drizzle some dressing over - not too much or itll look murky.

7 Put the rest into a small jug and pass around, so that each diner can dress his or her own salad as desired.
