If you have time, marinade the chicken with a squeeze of lemon, 1 tsp of mustard and 1 tbsp of olive oil for an hour. If not, combine in a bowl and add straight to the pan on a high heat to get a nice sear.
Slice the bacon removing any visible fat and add to the sauce pan.
Rotate the chicken breasts after 6 minutes and cook for a further 6 minutes reducing the heat.
Meanwhile, finely chop your garlic then add a pinch of salt onto it. Using the back of your knife, apply pressure to form a paste and repeatedly chop. The salt will act as an abrasive to help get that smooth texture, you don’t wanna munch on a piece of raw garlic (this time).
Chop and wash your lettuce and celery.
Whisk the mustard, garlic and lemon juice together in a bowl. Then add the greek yogurt.
Slowly pour in the oil from a height as you whisk to form the emulsion. Add some salt and pepper and that’s your dressing sorted!
Chicken & bacon should be finished at this point, combine all the elements and serve up the most satisfying salad you’ll ever eat.
