Preheat oven to 190°C. Place chicken breasts in a low-sided oven pan.

Drizzle with sherry vinegar and olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes (depending on size of chicken breasts) until cooked through. Remove to rest until cool enough to handle then tear chicken into bite-sized pieces. Set aside to cool completely.

Blanch green beans in boiling water for 1 minute then plunge into ice cold water to cool. Drain well.

Place all the salad ingredients in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sherry vinegar, season with salt and pepper and toss well to combine.

To make Romesco Sauce, place tomato and torn bread in a food processor and process to chop. Add garlic, chilli, pimientos, and almonds and process to puree. Add remaining ingredients and process to combine into a rough textured paste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve the salad with the Romesco sauce on the side to spoon over.
