- Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for about 15 minutes until tender. Add the shallot and red pepper, return to simmering point and drain into a colander.
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill to hot. Use 1 tablespoon of the oil to brush the chicken thighs and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Transfer them to the rack of the grill pan and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning them once, until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Put the honey, mustard, vinegar and remaining oil into a small screw-top jar with a pinch of salt and shake vigorously to emulsify. Put the drained, cooked vegetables into a wide dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add the dressing and toss.
- Scatter the salad leaves over the cooked vegetables and toss together gently. Cut each chicken thigh into 3 pieces, add to the salad, toss briefly and serve.
