Step 1

Place the chicken fillets in a pan and cover with cold water. Season with salt and bring just to the boil. Simmer very gently, partly covered, 15-20 minutes. Leave to cool to room temperature, then drain.

Step 2

Meanwhile: place the noodles in a heatproof bowl, pour boiling water over them and leave for 4 minutes to soften. Drain, then snip the noodles once or twice with scissors, then set aside. Slice the chicken against the grain.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved. Add the snipped noodles, sliced chicken and remaining ingredients (except lime wedges) to the bowl and toss gently to combine. Divide among bowls, scatter with peanuts and serve with lime.
