Method

1.Place each chicken fillet between 2 layers plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or meat mallet, flatten to 1.5cm thickness. Place in a shallow dish. Drizzle with juice and oil, turning to coat. Set aside 15-20 minutes. Season to taste.
2.To make dressing, whisk lemon juice in a bowl, with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle in oil, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. Set aside.
3.Heat a char-grill pan or barbecue on medium. Cook chicken 2-3 minutes each side, until just cooked through. Set aside to cool.
4.Divide melon, feta, rocket and almonds between 4 serving plates.
5.Slice chicken and add to salad mixture. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing and toss gently. Scatter with basil leaves to serve.

Toast silvered almonds by tossing in a dry frying pan over a medium heat until golden. Remove to a plate straight away, to prevent burning.
