Preparation
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, roughly chop the lettuce. Thinly slice the radishes. Thinly slice the string peas lengthwise. Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top. Roughly chop the hazelnuts.
Make the nutty scallion topping
In a small pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the hazelnuts and toast, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned and fragrant. Add the white bottom of the scallion, 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until combined. Transfer to a small bowl.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine vinaigrette and vinegar. Add the lettuce, radishes, string peas, green top of the scallion and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the chicken and nutty scallion topping. Bon appétit!
