Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Mix the 1 tbsp of the dijon mustard with the oil and plenty of seasoning, then rub it over the chicken breasts and put on a baking sheet lined with compostable baking paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and a little charred.
Meanwhile, spread the walnut halves on a small tray and roast in the oven on a lower shelf for the final 5 minutes of the chicken cooking time. Mix the remaining tbsp of dijon mustard with the natural yogurt, mayonnaise and plenty of seasoning until smooth. Add the red cabbage, apples, celery, raisins and most of the walnuts, then toss to coat.
Slice the chicken, then divide the salad among 4 plates and top with the chicken. Sprinkle over the remaining walnut halves and parsley to serve.
