- To poach chicken, place chicken in a large, deep frying pan. Add thyme, peppercorns, garlic, lemon zest and stock, then bring to the boil over medium–high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover with a round of baking paper, then simmer gently for 5 minutes. Turn chicken over, cover, then cook for a further 8 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove pan from heat. Stand chicken for 5 minutes in poaching liquid.
- Meanwhile, to make salad dressing, whisk onion, lemon juice, thyme, sugar and oil in a small bowl until combined, then season with salt and pepper. Makes 125ml (1/2 cup).
- To make salad, place rocket, pears, cheese and walnuts in a large bowl. Season, but do not toss yet.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from poaching liquid, then drain on paper towel. Using your hands, shred chicken into large strips (take care as it will be hot) or slice.
- Add chicken to salad, drizzle with dressing, then toss gently to combine. Divide salad among bowls to serve.
